[NajdanRW]

Not sure what it is but I have these white dots on the inside of my aquarium, I was treating for ich but i'm thinking it might be flukes..? Any suggestions

Can't really tell by pix. Are they like little worms? If so they are probably planeria not harmful but a sign that gravel needs to be cleaned.

Not like worms, I just changed the water 2 days ago and tried to clean as much as I could from the gravel

Do they kind of look like very tiny feather dusters moving in the aquarium current??

I had/have the samething, in my tank its where the outakes of my fx5 and circulator blow, scrape and change water or add stresszyme, i have very clean bi weekly tested water and my nitrates never exceed 20-25 ppm. I do change 60-70% per week w/ 1300gph/90gal=13.3x T.O. Ive heard it may be BB growing in certain places of turbulance, adding bio has helped too.

Typically tiny feather duster looking things are usually (from what I've seen) a species of Dinobryon, a colonial organism classified as golden algae. They're completely harmless, just unsightly when they start covering the glass (making it appear cloudy).

Yeah they move with the current. I'll just clean the glass and cut back on feeding
