Look kinda like this...

If so, red bugs. Interceptor is the main (only?) treatment. You can do a search for red bugs or Interceptor and find the site somewhere. I used to have it bookmarked...

are there any other remedies? i have shrimps snails and other inverts in my tank, and also fish. i don;t wanna kill anything if there is another way. please let me know. i think i do have red bug i don;t know where they could have come from.

Only shrimp and crabs are at risk. Your snails and fish will be fine. You will lose some pods though. Just quarantine the shrimp and crabs. I'm going through the same thing right now.

Not as bad as it sounds. I got a cyano outbreak afterward, but it was gone a week and a half with water changes.

I also got a cyno outbreak. A bad one. Took 5 months to get rid of and the redbugs still came back. I'd suggest a QT tank for the treatment.
