    I woke up this morning and there were these very tiny white specks in my tank. They are on the glass and swimming around in my tank and are VERY small. Im guessing they might be copepods or something but not to sure. I dont know where they came feom either. Are they safe to be in my tank?

    my guess would be copepods also. which are basically free fish food. theyre not harmful.
