I just added some water to a tank that has a small frog in it and I noticed these little shrimpy looking things swimming around in there. I have no idea how they got in there. I'm guessing they came from the shrimp pellets I feed the frog sometimes. Anyone know what the hell they are? :WTF:

Thank you for the replies guys, I'm glad these things aren't harmful. I apologize for taking so long to reply. I've been rather anti-internet lately.

Depending on their size most fish eat them.
