[/quote I'm thinking aphids. However they generally don't move very fast. Do you have any other floating plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 They are very common in tanks w. floating plants. They don't seem to do any harm and are quite difficult to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnio Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 yeah we get them at petsmart.... they must be from the hornwort because they are the only floating plant i have.... i have a african butterfly i don't know if the bugs are big enough for it to see though...if they are harmless then i'm not really going to worry.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
