They might be pods. Are they all over your glass?

 

[bullitr]

yes is all in the glass... hundreds or even thousands.. are they harmful?

 

[tim_12]

If they are pods, they are very beneficial. They wont do any harm, they'll just give your fish a nice supply of live food.

 

[beth]

Pods do not usually end up on fish. Take a look at the pictures of fish with ich in the Diseased Fish Thread.

Mela-fix is a med. for ich, aslong as u dont have corals. that or a shot of copper, will clear up ich. worked for me, once again these wont work with corals.
