Folks, have you ever been sitting back, admiring your tank, when suddenly you see a critter wiggle by that you didn't put in your tank? I'm guilty as charged. So what are these little bugs and critters we find in our tank? Where do they come from? Are they harmful to our tank plants and inhabitants.
In this video, a little guide to the ostracods and copepods you might find in your tank. But first, take a deep breath and give yourself a round of applause. Most of these little critters are harmless, a natural part of the aquatic ecosystem, and in small numbers are a sign of good water quality. You are doing a good job. :)
Hope this helps clear up any questions about critters in your tank....
Keep tankin!
