It may also sneak in with the brine shrimp eggs.  The population of it
definitely increases based on the availability of micro-food for it, such
as baby brine shrimp.  Ours has steadily decreased as we switch from BBS
to larger Daphnia and mosquito larvae, but seems to come back once we go
back to larger feedings of BBS.  I remember Soares' tanks were just
covered in them when we visited; he feeds BBS almost exclusively.
