Hi all
Would appreciate some help in identifying and dealing with a very recent problem!
Have had the planted tank for over a year now, and most of the leaves have developed small holes in them. When looking closer there are many black dots about 0.5mm in diameter.
Took a leaf out and under a microscope they are mites! See uploaded videos on YouTube here:
Thanks for reading, cannot find any way to identify them, nor any way to get rid of them!
Some extra info on tank:
Size of mites 0.5mm across. No recent additions to tank, no change in food, no added plants in last 7 months. Water pH, ammonia etc all normal. Found in tropical heated tank with one Betta, 4 cardinal tetras and algae eater, one shrimp. Fed Betta floating food, plus fish flakes. The odd algae pellet also.
