[billy0510]

ive noticed over the past few days that these little white flea looking things r floating in my tank. they just stay on the suface and dont actually go in the water. They move around and jump almost like a flea, HELP IM BEING INVADED. About a week age i noticed a few fish had what i thought was ich, treated for a week did a water change. lost one fish one ready to go but the others r doing fine. any help would be appreciated

hi,
i have them in my main tank. they are tiny things called spring tails. thats how they manage to jump. they don't do any harm to fish or anything and can only live on the waters surface where its moist so wont invade your room
