Default More weird stuff growing in yet ANOTHER tank!

This time my Axolotl tank... I have NEVER had tank issues before we moved into this house, my water must suck, lol!

This time they are little growths, very small, about the size of a head of a pin, and they look almost like little clear mushrooms. They are so small there is no way I can get a pic.

They are on the glass, the rocks, everything

HELP! LOL

No, they do not move. I have been doing a little more research, and I am starting to think that they are bacteria colonies... From what I have read, they are actually beneficial to Axies because they remove ammonia. I am still trying to find a pic to compare to, but they are so TINY...

They're not planaria if they are round and don't move, which is what you said. Planaria move around slowly but visibly, and they are shaped like a sort of fat arrow.

Wish I could help! Sorry.
