Help with Creature ID

Brian35 · 08-31-2004, 10:25 PM

Hi Gang,

I just noticed these small semi-clear, almost shrimp looking creatures moving around in my CC substrate. They seem to have many legs and a curve to their back half of the body. I wish i could get a picture for you all but i dint think they would even show up. Maybe 1/8 of an inch and dont seem to be bothering anything.

thanks

Those are amphipods. They're good guys!
