This is provided it is ich. Ich usually will hitched on your fishes body thus you will noticed white spots on your fishes body.

From your descriptions, I believe they are just debris or pods. If it is debbris or deritus, it will settle after a while. And if it is pods, they are great food for fishes and intertebrates.
