But they seem to stop where the sunlight ends. Please help me!!! Im worried and never had thiz problem the entire 5 yearz i have had them.

Not sure if I am right so someone more experience may comment. I found something similar thing in a tank before and it was due waste and introduced food. Just had to do a good water change and keep on top of the maintenance of the tank.

Someone else may give you a better answer

They kind of look like an Ostracod but I'm not quite sure. there were at least 60 of them in there just clinging to the side of the tank where the sunlight hit it directly. And here is the best possible picture I could take with my smartphone.

From the photo,they look like little limpets to me.

I personally would leave them, but you could maybe suck them off the glass if it bothers you..will give you hours of fun

I would also avoid using most treatments for fear of poisoning my newt.

Difficult to say what they are, but i would narrow it down to some kind of crustacean, which makes them harmless and useful in maintaining a stable tank. I love having lots of little critters in my tanks.

Arent those baby tadpole snails?

Are limpets the same as Acroloxus lacustris? They're harmless and even clean up a bit.

Edit: found this recently: http://www.applesnail.net/content/snails_various.php

The look exactly like what i have in all three of my fish tanks. It is the early stage of a snail that develops a conical shell. I don't really know the name of these snails, but I have a lot of them. I don't mind, since they help to clean up the tank.
