    Plankton

    After reading some thing and looking at pic on the web i think it's just plankton..

    I just started feeding 2 days ago 3 new feds all in the plankton realm..


    I was just worried i guess..

    PS they move fast,some time jerk i think i saw some that was a few different colors..
