What The Heck Are These Things?

[Jaded12]

Ok I have these weird little creatures in my tank, the biggest ones are a bit smaller then the head of a pin, the littlest ones are about the size of the tip. They're too small to take pictures of with my crappy camera. They're white, and look like an upside down y when they swim and the v part opens and closes as they swim, its hard to describe.. lol, any ideas would be great!!!!

Thats a impressive pic. And what a confusing little thread lol. Also where are these creatures? swimming freely around the tank, on the fish, on the substrae or in the filter?
