Question
I have 5 tanks,(2-10 gal. 2-20 gal., & a 1 1/2 for my angel fry.) Lately I have noticed tiny white larva-like things crawling on the glass of my angel tank, and on my guppy tank. What are they, and what can be done about them?             Thanks, dennis

Answer
Hello,

These are likely parasites. I recommend treating them with a product called Coppersafe. Also, turning up the temperature in your aquarium to around 80-82 F should help as parasite do not do well in warmer temperatures.

I hope this helps.
