	Surface Critter
Bob Wesolowski Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004	I did a thorough cleaning of my glass lids today and my HOB. Before replacing the glass, I noticed little brown specks on the surface of the water. About half the size of a pinhead or smaller than a red spider mite, they appeared to have swimmer arms. Not substantial enough in size or weight to break the surface tension of the water They were doing little flips off the surface then landing... Curious as to what they are! __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
