Bugs In My Tank

[bailey0789]

I was looking at my tank and saw a gnat on the outside of the glass. I flicked him off and was like, ok. Then i saw another and tried to flick him off and he didnt go no where. He was inside the glass. So i kept looking and there were more. And it looks like there are like these tiny cocoon-like nests under the hood. Anyone know whats goin on?

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Clean hood.
Remove ornaments and give the tank a good hoover.

Can you describe what you saw in more detail.

Added and new plants, or fish.
Do you feed live foods.
Do you over feed?

 

[bailey0789]

over feed yes. people at petsmart told me cut back. Def needs a cleaning. Are the bugs a common thing for dirty tank?

A dirty tank makes it more apealing to them, yes.
