Weird tiny bugs!!!

[Jynx]

There's weird tiny bugs crawling around on the inside of the aquarium all over the glass- they're white- just to be sure i stuck a finger in there and smooshed some- they were hard like little bugs- they run in circles- what are these? where did they come from? omg freaking out! gaaaaaa!

Hard to tell from your description. Google-image these and see what looks most similar:

Fish Lice

Freshwater Copepod

Daphnia

Scud

Planaria

Might also be ich parasites in their free-swimming stage.

i think they look like the fish lice maybe? they're really teeny

there's medicine for this?

will the medicine work on whatever it is or do i need to figure it out first?

they're everywhere >_<

You should really figure it out first because a lot of bugs are totally harmless.

Fish lice are a little smaller than the head of an eraser, definitely the biggest of all the bugs I put up there.

these are teeny teeny- like as teeny as a . <<< period
and they're white
and it's an INFESTATION!!!
they're everywhere!

Eeeeuuuwww! They sound gross!! I hope you can find a solution to getting rid of them.

omg! they're attached to her now! they look like teeny ticks! omgomg >_<

OMG this sounds like a bad horror movie. Did you figure out what they are?

That is nasty!

From the sounds of it, could be fish lice? Because they attach to the fish and feed off of them...and if they are, she'll probably try to rub against something to scratch them off.

Good luck!

ok now i don't know what they are- there are none on her now and they seem to be eating the algae? clueless

could be some kind of algae eating mite?
