    I have very tiny critters crawling on my glass.Is this normal?I would post a pic but they looks like grains of salt. They are very active and don't seem to be hurting anything.

    1 Krabby patty please.


    They are probably pods. They will be eaten by your fish, usually :)

    yes possible isopods or similar--often more likely to be present in a newly established tank
