Ok, I have little white mites in the water of 3 of my T's. They look like little specks of powder or dust. I have used the search function on this site, I know how it works, I did find some threads on this topic, but as far as what to do about the mites was not really answered. Some were saying remove all the substrate and clean the tanks thouroughly. Some say the mites are harmless. I believe these things are called "springtails", I may be mistaken. So what's the bottom line on this? Do I remove all the substrate and wash out the tank? Or just clean the water dishes and keep the substrate dry? Right now the substrate is slightly moist, but not too bad.
