Tiny Black Bugs in Food Dish

I looked at the What's that bug and mite sticky topics but don't see anything that looks like the bugs I find in my food dishes.

The bugs are super tiny, maybe a millimeter long and a hair width wide. They move very fast. They appear to be all back. They are sorta tear drop shaped, with their tail ends being the widest. I will try to get some pictures, but they are so small and move so fast that it's difficult.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I feed a variety of fresh fruits, veggies and (fresh & dried) proteins. (I do wash and carefully clean my produce.) However, the bugs must live in the tank now because I washed with soap and water then boiled my food dishes and they are there when I change the food dish.
