There are little flies that I find dead on the inside of my tank top. I think they come up from the gravel as little worms. Does anyone know how to get rid of these things?
 
one spot isnt. That is directly above the powerhead and to the sides and around the powerhead. That is about a 1/4 of my tank top.
 
Sounds like Psychodidae......Are they small black worms? They are also called drain flies
I'm not sure how to kill them...Should be harmless to you and fish...Gross though
 
They look like little wiggling things comin up from the gravel, then I find dead tiny flies on my tank hood.
 
A. drain your tank save the water and dry your gravel

or

B. dropp a hand full of aquarium salt were you see them then WC regularly

ive done both im sure you can get meds for it
