Hi , im new here as i havent need to ask to much here that i havent found answers for, thanks for letting me browse

while investigaing my many unwanted snails and hanging a veggy leaf in take for them to get on and leave the tank with. i saw a couple of tiny tiny tiny, i mean tiny . smaller than a dot ( . ) little white things
my sketch is crude but i think it looked like this on the black stones i have, kind of jumping around in the gaps, none of the fish have spots yet but i cant find the bristlenose to see, so could it be part of the life cycle of ICH??

has anyone got pics of an ich more than a spot i mean the bug itself?

any help read and greatfull for

Welcome to Fishlore.

I don't know what that parasite is but at that temp, it's not likely to be ich.

You are probably seeing "water fleas" aka. daphneia (spelling?) Most fish that are commonly kept in the fishkeeping hobby will eat them.

hmm so far my internet search as draw a blank, i dont think it is ich now, or daphnia,
so any thoughts would be nice

Ich can not be seen by the naked eye in the free swimming forms. Not sure what it could be...did you search planaria? I think those look more like a worm tho but just throwing things out there...good luck.
