    I have noticed a few a little things in my tank lately 1st only one now there seems to be quite a few.They are clear tiny about 1/16 to an 1/8 inch long and are very fast so i cant really get a good look at one to be able to describe it.The most i can describe it as is a termite lol.Can someone give me names of stuff to consider so i can look up a picture to find out what this is to know if it is safe for my tank.T.I.A.

    Could it maybe be that my frozen brine isnt dead and just thawed out lol.

    Nice link but no luck.


    Actually upon second look it may be a tiny amphipod.
    Looks kinda like the first one but is all clear and even has the two front feeders.

    How did they get in my tank.
    I have a firefish and 2 clarkii clowns will any of those eat these they are kinda an eyesore to me but if they are really beneficial i will not disturb them.
