[APD] copepods

["Liz Wilhite" <liz_wilhite at hotmail_com>]

Okay, its not exactly on topic but it's not magentic water filters with 
natural undocumented power, either.

I have seen a small number of what appears to be copepods on the walls of my 
tank when the lights first come on.  A small number = maybe 5 in a 55G.  
They are white, tiny, elongated and move in jerky, striaght lines covering 
about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch at a time.  I only see them on the black back wall 
and even with a magnifying glass they are really too small to make out any 
details.  So, I think these are copepods.

I have read that some are parasitic.  Are all of them parasitic?  Thus far, 
all the fish in the tank are fine but this might just be the beginning of 
the outbreak.  Should I be concerned and, if so, suggestions on what I 
should do?

Thanks,
Liz
