For a few weeks now I notice every time I do a water change I discover these yellow bugs/critters crawling on the glass right above the water line, I don't every really see them unless I am doing a water change. I have been noticing over the weeks that it seems as if there has definitely been more and more of these bugs but not to a crazy extent (btw I am talking about a 20 gallon tank fyi). These bugs will crawl on the glass but then if they reach the waster they just float there or hop/jump on the water until they reach the glass, (if I try to squish them they kind of bounce away from my finger). I have already had input from @Colin_T who said "
probably just a type of aphid
nothing to worry about" and I trust him well since I know he is one of the best if not the best on these forums. I am in general though a very nervous/anxious person so I tend to worry even if this is a small thing. So I was wondering if anyone had any extra input on this for more comfort. The biggest thing I worry about in general is these bugs getting out of the fish tank since I have seen one on the frame part of the tank while I doing a water change and they already are on the glass above the water. If anyone knows these are aphids then is there anything I could maybe spray or do to kill all of these things or If they aren't (I trust @Colin_T but you never know) what are they and how could I get rid of them. Thank you .
Sorry the quality isn't the best this is the best I could do:
