It is a Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta sp.) there are several species depending on location etc. A favorite food for Triops and they share a the same environment and similar life cycle

wait so you got these out of a water hole in your backyard and fed them to your fish without knowing??:confused::irked:
 
Do you feed the triops to i would stop feeding the fairy shrimp and feed more triops as they are endangered
 
heck, put the triops in a 5 with light sandy substrate. They'll breed and apparently also have their own AQuaria Cult Following. Check the Youtube vids of them.
