So today I noticed tiny black bugs in my stingray tank. I'm not sure if they are sea lice. They are only right above the water line in the tank on the glass. Iv been looking for quite some time and have seen none in the water or on my fish. Could these be lice and if not, then what? And if they are, what can I treat the tank with that is safe for rays?
Black bugs in tank....possibly sea lice?

You can see them along the edge of the glass by the seam. They are only out of the water....none in it. They were all over the bottom of the glass top as well.We do a small water change everyday....this is the first iv noticed them. Sorry, this is the best pic I could get with my phone
Sure they are not just flies or other normal bugs

No they definitely aren't flies...and the ray tank is the only place we have them. we have a couple other tanks and none in either of those
I've had them before they kinda pop around on top of the water? I will get them with tanks that have driftwood. Do you have drift wood? They are harmless as far as I can tell?

They do pop around in there. We don't have any driftwood or decorations of any kind. We did put a couple live plants in....maybe they came off of those? Good to hear they are harmless. Whats the best way to get rid of them?
