.....well maybe not fleas, but something. I recently set up a small 20l tank. It has since cycled however I notice the other day after putting a small bristlenose in that he wasn't the only one there. If you get a fine point pen and make a dot on some paper, that is the size of whatever it is. They are very small, can be seen crawling around the gravel and sometimes can be seen swimming around. On close inspection they are everywhere. Does anyone have any idea what they might be?
Thanks, James.
