425nm Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sooo I was squinting at the sponge filter in my betta breeding tank and I noticed that there were little white specs hopping around.They look an awful lot like brine shrimp in that they have that little tail-like structure. I have no idea what these things are nor have I been able to get a photo (they're really quite tiny and fast). Does anyone have any idea what these might be?Dunno where they would have come from. I suspect they may have been cycsts present on the coconut shells I have in there for the male betta to skulk in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Most likely your topic title holds the answer. Have them too. Edited March 11, 2013 by ckmullin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
425nm Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Huh. Where do you think they'd have come from? I've never seen them before in any of the tanks I've setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 They're everywhere! I imagine they came in on plants, as I assume that's where all of mine came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah I have those too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Possibly cyclops, they have a 'tadpole-like' stage before they get bigger. Possibly 2-4 other common tank critters. I know I have 3 different kinds in my one tank, considering that I have seen 3, there are probably many more that are just too small for me to spot.
