Evolution Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I have 5 gallon tank with some shrimp, a few kuhli loaches and rabbit snails, The tank is only filtered with java moss and ricca. Two weeks ago I unhooked an air stone that was on it. Today I find dozens of red/brown microscopic bugs hopping all over the surface of the water. Anyone have any idea what they could be?

nanmer Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I often have aphids on my duckweed and frogbit, I leave my doors open and things get in lol. They appear as black things on the plants. I clear out most of the duckweed, turn my frogbit upside down, and right side up and agitate the plants, a few days in a row. My cichlids love it when I have to clear out my aphid laden duckweed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
