Bugs all over the glass

[ReeferNoob4ever]

Hello all,

I just noticed there are all kinds of little fast moving white bugs crawling all over my aquarium glass.

These are good right?

Thanks everyone for your patience and advice!

Can you get a pic?

Upon further research they look like copepods. I can even see them floating around in the water. Will those be enough to sustain my coco worm or should I still feed it?

What does "king kong ain't got shxt on me!!" Mean??

It's a quote from the movie Training Day. The character is going down in flames and he screams that while pounding his chest. It was an adlib by Densel Washington.

Is there a way to tell if the pods would prefer phytoplankton or zooplankton?

If they got to the level where you are seeing them all over the glass why add either. They will feed on detritus, no need to feed them in tank.

Ok I'll just let them be then. Hopefully they will eat this snail poop I keep seeing coming out of my turbos!

Do u have fish in the tank? For some reason I notice way more pods when I don't have any fish in the tank. I know fish eat pods but I think they also hide more when fish are around.They also tend to go to the glass when it's around time to clean the glass, they are eating the algae off the glass.

I only have a very small bicolor chromis fish. They came out after a water change, I wonder if they got stirred up by the water I poured in.

My turbos are keeping the glass looking good as of now.

They will wax and wane. Sometimes I have them everywhere, other times nowhere.

It's funny to watch them fly through the water then land on the glass.
