    Slugs do not hop... I have heard of these things before... Spingtails perhaps? Do they live on/around the serface of the water?

    Here, this website should give more info on springtails. My garden pond is covered in these little creatures in the early summer before I have enough baby fish to eat them. Of course, I live in America, so it might not be the same creature. Whatever they are mostlikely they will not cause harm to your tank inhabitants.

    I'm assuming since they hoping that they don't live underwater...
