airbubbles ...

if not that some type of water insect - most of them are harmless

[Neo]

yea i dont think they are bubbles, if so i think they would be clear........but im no genius maybe some type of insect, that was my first conclusion, i wonder if i should be worried?

[Meatpuppet]

well can u give some more info about them. how many are there? do they move? if so how.? do they group togethre?

[Neo]

Theres kinda a few of em, they dont stick together, they are just on the inside of the tank stuck to the glass, they move up and down a little when the water moves sometimes, they dont really move alot

can you post a photo?

[Meatpuppet]

copepods, water fleas, planaria, aquatic white worms, and many other tings will be found in our fish tanks. 98% of them are harmless.

Little round dots swimming in irradic patterns - copepods
Tiny looking worms that incha long the glass - planaria.
Little white worms you find in the substrate 1/2 inbch or so - aquatic white worms.
Little dot looking things that seem to swim in circles and you can kinda identify different part of the body - water fleas.

[Neo]
