I've been a little lax with my tank maintainance for the past month. I nearly cut my thumb off with a razor and had to get sewn back together by the doctor. I learned that it's virtually impossible to do tank maintainance with one hand and that we really need our thumbs.
So anyway, I was looking in my tank the other day and that saw my purple acro was covered in red bugs. I didn't see them on the other acros, but the have to be there somewhere. I haven't added anything new to my tank since October so the red bugs have to have been in there all along, but just not in plague proportions.
I have no plans to nuke the tank because it's been successfully supporting 3 fat little mandarins (2 girls and 1 boy) for over a year. They take priority. So, I was wondering, are there any natural preadators for red bugs? If not, is it safe to assume that their population will at least decrease once I get back into my proper maintainance routine?
