Ever since I put my new 20 gallon viv together I've noticed some white bugs that appear to be mites. However, my frogs had always kept them incheck (or at least this is the conclusion I've come to), but now that my frogs are no longer in the tank there are more and more "mites". They seem to be present on the wood more than the plants. I think they lay eggs on the live moss (there are little white specs covering some areas that weren't there when I first put the tank together). The mites are pretty big (at least as far as mites go), you can make out their antennea when you look close enough, and I even witnessed two fighting :shock: .
I guess I'm just wondering if these have potential to be bad for the plants...I can't get a picture of them right now (lacking a digital camera at the moment) but any speculations are welcome
