When I turned on the light in our discus tank this morning, I noticed a couple of wee specks on the glass at the back. I've taken a pic, although it's not very clear. I've seen these before in one of our community tank, but they seemed to disappear before I could get any info on what they were. They're little round things, clear with a bit of something in the middle, that slide slowly. I think I've seen antennae on them. The seem to be around in the morning, but vanish as the day progresses. Does anyone have a clue as to what they may be, and if they're something to be worried about? I'd appreciate any advice
