bones6966 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Sooo I found these in my makeshift rector. (small hang on back filter filled with media.) I'm not sure if they are *large* copepods or something or some other hitchhiker that managed its way into my tank. Some weird sort of crustacean thing. looks like a mini shrimp and swims like one. I did dose copepods at some point a long time ago but the fish ate them up fast and I have seen anything in the tank. They mesure about 2mm or 1/8" ish. 1 Quote Link to comment

DaJMasta Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yep, amphipod. They are basically large copepods, and they hitchhike and multiply similarly and live off the detritus in the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
