I was using an auto feeder to feed a tank of neon's and some other tetras while I was away. When I came back I noticed there were little white mites in the food within the autofeeder. Are these bad for the fish to be eating them. Has anyone else had this problem or is it the type of food I am putting in.
As there are no discus in this tank I use all my left over crumbs from the other fish so generally there is a mix of tetra bit crumbs, HBH vege flakes, OSI tropical flakes and tetra tropical flakes but I did also put a little HBH Krill pellet that was left in a container.
Any thought would be greatly appreciated as I do not want to fill the autofeeder again until I find the source of teh problem or am sure that I will not kill the fish with these mites.
