WHAT are these little bugs? And HOW do I get rid of them?

So when I was doing my water change last night on my big tank my g/f found these little white bug looking things all over the 10 gal. underneeth the big tank. This was the best picture I could get theyare just soooo small I couldn't get anything really clear of them. They are all white and look like they have two tiny claws. In the tank is 3 fantail goldfish. And a new common pleco We just got saturday. (NO I didn't quarentine him) he is only about 1 1/2" long. ( I know he'll outgrow the tank but I have other plans for him later). The tank does not have a heater but the temp stays around 76-78 all the time. CAN anyone tell me what these things are and who to treat them?


P.S. in the pic they are all the little white spots in the bottom left corner.

I can't tell from the photo, but i'll guess copepods or something of that nature

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head to use is pimafix. I don't have any on hand so ill have to go and buy some. They don't seem to be on any of the fish which I am very happy of. But just a min ago I was looking into this tank and saw a bunch of little clear egg shapped objects on one of my fake plants. Do you guy think this could be eggs for these little bug things ?
