Hi, I have been finding these little things in my tank ever since I got it 5 months ago. Does anyone know what it is? It looks kind've like a popcorn kernel. They've ranged in size from this smiley to as big as a pea. Will they grow? is it anything plant related? I know that it hasn't come from any plants in my tank because all I have is a java fern right now, and I've been seeing these since before I got it.

Where did you get your gravel from? They could be bulblets from plants that hitch-hiked with the gravel.

I bought the tank, including gravel from a guy on craigslist. I have to assume that the thing came with the gravel. It's just that I've had the tank for about 4 months and none of the things are growing. I am wondering if I should take them out or leave them because maybe they'll do something.

Good idea, thanks, I'll do that.
