What are these??

[Vettech716]

I noticed these little black dots in my tank a week or so ago and thought they were fruit fly larva because I stupidly left a can of tea in my room and had fruit flies. Now tonight I noticed they are attacked to my albino senegal. What do I do to get rid of them?

Try a dip of 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt in a gallon of water and prazipro. Can't tell from the pics what they are.

Not sure fruit flies look like this.

I don't know what they are either. Just noticed they are attached to the poor albino. If I put prazi and aquarium salt in the tank their in and do a water change might that work? And if so how much of each into a 20 gal.

 

[kno4te]

1 tbsp per 5 gallon, so 4 tbsp. Prazipro is 1 tsp per 20g. Check the label to make sure.

They look like eggs do you have any other poly's in there with the Albino?

I never seen anything like this
How old is that albino? It might be eggs but what kinda egg?

Really hard to tell. I can be totally wrong, but they look like freshwater limpets. These tiny snails typically attached to plants, walls, and substrate. They love bunching next to left over pieces of food. I got these from my anubias.

Still not sure. I thought it was some external bug. Hope it can be figured out. But if it's like eggs or snails then will need to physically removed or siphoned off.

Nuke that tank with Paraguard, if its anything other than snails or eggs it'll die. paraguard is good and easy on fish too, I've used it many times with good success.
