Hi All,
I have set up my tank last week with plants , after using KMNO4 as a disinfectatnt and quarantine for the plants.
I have not introduced any fishes yet , but have started with dosing and DIY CO2.
Yesterday , I have noticed very tiny whitish , bug like creatures which swim fast / jerky(drunken bees), in the water and then sit and walk on plants or gravel.
After reading in your forum , it appears they are ostracods as all the description fits perfect to these creatures. Can they be isopods?
Cannot photograph as they are beyond my camera capacity.
Are there any general instructions to get rid of these small creatures. I fear that they might destroy my plants .
Are there any pro/anaphylactic remedies ? Pl guide.
thanks
