A few weeks ago I noticed several of these little guys in my tank. I could only find them at night.Now I am finding them in the day. They have gotten much bigger. Are they "safe"? Does anybody know what kind they are?

| I have tons of these and they do not seem to harm anything. |

Hard to tell from the picture. Do you have any close-ups? ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

I have shloads of the same, seem harmless, but do cause a little concern when they "surge" just before lights out. buggers come out from everywhere and I can never figure out where they're all hiding during the day. ------------- Murray, Utah just north of the park.

| Harmless algae eaters. I have a ton in my tank and mostly see them at night. These multiply fast. |
