There are small white spots on my glass, I'm thinking flatworms? they are kind of clear to the point you can see a little yellowish dot in them. I tried to get a picture, but they are too small. Are they bad to have in your tank?
Also I saw little things in the shape of isopods crawling on the glass, smaller than the white dots... Any ideas? Sorry for no pictures my camera phone can't seem to get anything good of them.

Without a picture all I can say is that it sounds like pods and other such normal and beneficial critters. If you have a macro setting on your camera, that will help get pics. But white dots could be anything.

Thanks everyone, I think they are in fact snail eggs after looking them up on google.
