yucky and Help!

[lvhanatoez]

I recently set up (about 2 months ago) a 10 gallon tank with 2 african dwarf frogs, 2 snails and a couple of regular fish...(sorry can't remember name) anyhow, I just noticed this morning that there are literally thousands of these very, almost microsopic white things? crawling on the inside of the glass...does anyone know what this could be? If so please help! It seems my other fish are gasping for air, if that makes sense also.

thanks,
Hanatoez

Welcome to the site

The white things are most likely planaria, which are harmless. However, they do indicate that you might be feeding too much or not vacuuming the gravel enough when you're doing water changes.

A few extra gravel vacuumings and making sure you're not feeding more than the fish can eat in three minutes should help get rid of the bugs.
