Fentanyl
So as I was looking at my fish tank I noticed little white specks on the glass I didn't think much about them then it started to move. As i took a closer look I realized that they were alive. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Should I be worried? They seem to be all over the place.

Copepods.

Most people will say they are harmless but pretty much every failed tank I've ever heard of had copepods in it...

every failed tank you've ever heard of had water in it too - better get that out of your tank before it causes a crash!

better watch them, if they get too big you're gonna get flamed for having adolecent dolphins in a nano!

oh no...not the dolphin police too....i thought we made the dolphin police realize that the dolphin is fine in a tank of at least 20g because it doesnt grow when its in a smaller tank....

I noticed that too, it seems like copepods, saltwater and live rock are present in most tank crashes which means they must be bad. I heard it from my TV set.
