I have noticed thousands of tiny white creatures that glide along the glass much like the trumpet snails that overran the tank. The never seemed to effect the bowfins that had inhabited the tank. They have an ability to take a fish apart so fast I am stunned.
I through a $1 highfin pleco that has grown to over 14" into the aquarium. The white crawlers positioned themselves on his whiskers.
It is only 48 hours later, and they have removed his tail and are working on the body. I see precious little chance of saving the pleco, but there are also 5 young (~ 12") Florida Gar in the tank. They like the bowfins I removed look totally unaffected by these creatures.
