Today I found a teeny bug crawling on the shell of Iggy. She was sitting in the food dish. i took her out immediately and did a salt water bath. i dried her off really good, completed an inspection and found no other bugs on her. i checked out rest of tank, removed food dishes. I found one more bug on a food dish...I am currently boiling them before I refill and put back in. Please tell me it was just food mites!!! And is there anything else I should do?
