| Plate Coral  | Re: Bugs in Guppy Tank!?? There are FW pods too. The little white bugs could be anything from aquatic mites to copepods. The little thin worms are most likely nematodes. They are usually an indication of too many nutrients or leftover food. The baby guppies will probably take care of these for you.

| Star Polyps  | Re: Bugs in Guppy Tank!?? i remember i had the same problem, and it was very annoying. unfortunately i didn't have anyone to help me then. i still dont know what they were, but my guess would've been mosquito larvae too.
