    Unfortunately I have had a bought with Ich in my tank. The thing I am wondering about is that I have noticed little white dots "swimming" around the tank. Kinda like the shape of coma. Are these ich or cope-pods? They hang out on the class and overflow box and kinda squirt around?

    Thanks.

    Are they swimming in open water while the lights are on?

    have you noticed any on your fish?

    There are good pods and bad pods and I'm hearing more and more about the bad pods lately
