Bugs everywhere

[sen5241b]

I turned on my LEDs last night after the tank had been dark for awhile and there were these bugs everywhere. They were very tiny and darted back and forth sometimes against the current. I put some in a little glass and looked with a magnifying glass. They appear to be some little crustacean. They were gone in the morning. Anybody every seen bugs all over at night?

Probably different kinds of pods

ya, pods. I see stuff blowing around at night also.

Pods of all kinds. I look for them as a sign of a healthy tank.

When you got a good population of bugs like that,it pretty much shows that you got a healthy tank.

The weird thing is that I looked in there last night and nada --no bug swarm! And I had never seen them before that night. Was the other night bug mating night?

Maybe they were all called into a bug conference. :)

No but I saw the same fast swimming lil white bigs at the LFS yesterday and the lights were on. All pods I've sen in the past crawled on the rock. I've never seen swimming ones before.
