 White dots on tank Help1 I started up a 55 gallon tank 3 months ago. Recently noticed small white dots on the glass. I have snails, so are these eggs?  |

| Re: White dots on tank i have small white dots on the back of my tank which is black so they really stand out. i think they are some kind of spiral worm or something...just another living organism in the grand scheme of a saltwater fishtank owner. you know you are addicted to something when you get excited about worms in your tank, and i mean excited in a good way. steve |

| Re: White dots on tank If you're at all nervous that you might not have enough food for the mandy then grab one of those bottles of live copepods at the LFS to start you off, and then maybe look into growing your own. I don't think 3 months is long enough for your tank to reach high levels of pods so you need to supplement it. Check out melevsreef.com ...it's definitely my bible online when it comes to feeding, DIY, etc He has a "mandarin feeder" that he got his two mandarins to eat from, even though its not pods. He uses brine shrimp, pellet food and some other stuff. See if your mandy will eat it, because if he does then you'll get to see a pleasantly plump mandarin strolling about
