I Think I Have Pods??

[Labsalesguy]

Ok so I went to clean my tank today with my magnet, and took a close look at the front panes. they are COVERED with teeny tiny little guys that look like fleas moving around. Now I added chaeto a few weeks back to the sump that had some, and I have seen them cruizin' around in it.
but I wanted to confirm with you guys what you think.

Question: Do I have a healthy population of pods?
Now I only have a pair of clowns, a royal gramma a snail and some tiny hermits. Are any of these natural predators for pods? tank is about 6 weeks old.

Best pic I can get- look on the opposite pane where the algae growth is:

That chaeto had a few different species of pods and mysid shrimp. So you probably have them in there too.

cool! I am happy to see that they multiplied quickly. perhaps a natural predator will be next on my stock list. Those Ruby's are pretty.

Remember that even seeing pods doesn't mean there is a huge population. 6 weeks is not close to a year and a ruby (im guessing dragonet) will eat what you have in a few days.

Ok thanks for the heads up.
