need better pics....

like i can seriously put my camera inside the water or a zoom thats powerful enough to look at almost microscopic things.

Those are the best i can do. i can take a video but thats it.
 
hmm i did put a drift wood in and quickly took it out when i noticed these little white things all over them. However, i have already seen these white things before i put the driftwood in.

Would it be too much for me to put my fish in a hospital tank, while i strip down the tank and clean it? I was anyways thinking of putting sand in, instead of gravel.

Looks like planaria to me!

They don't look like this

They look very circular, and very tiny. Not sure if they are going to grow like that though.

Any thoughts?
 
snails. look for any big ones. do you have real plants?

the reason why i say snails is because they move and the fact that they are on the most algae covered thing in the tank.
 
Get yourself a big magnifying glass or a microscope. They are invaluable for identifying little things. Eyeball 1.0 not so good.:)
 
They look like a white worm you get when there is alot of uneaten food in the tank. It used to happen to me sometimes with my tetraodon lineatus tank. Vacumn the gravel a little more and it should take care of it. i am guessing some, need a better close up pick to really nail it down.
Edit: whoops, didn't see the second page. I would also say snails, if their circular, not worm like.
