...not worth treating...they won't hurt anything in my tank...although they might irritate the snails a bit...
...I'll keep cleaning the tank, and sucking some of them up...and underfeeding the crew a bit...hopefully that will clean up the tank and they'll run their course soon enough...55 g Goldfish Tank - 5 Fancies, 2 Dojos

I am sitting here reading about it and it seems like salt may be a good addition?

Thanks for the quick help. You know, so funny that I went years with an aquarium with no problems at all. Now I have just recently had some problems, but I guess that comes with the territory when you start having multiple tanks and more fish.

I've had them off and on in both my betta tanks. They seem to sometimes inch up the side of the tank out of the water and hang out there so I just wipe them off with a papertowel every so often. Don't know if I'll ever get rid of them. I've tried salt and it doesn't seem to be working.
My tank:
20g long - 8 Trigonostigma heteromorpha, 2 Corydoras brevirostris, 2 Corydoras agassizii, 1 Corydoras trilineatus named Julian

Sounds interesting. Can anyone get a pic? I am curious to see what all of the hubub is about.
