What is this?

[Fat Homer]

Any one know what these little critters are? Noticed them in my CRS tank the other day and guessing if they are not baby shrimp then possibly water fleas?

So lookin for some input from the members here...

Leave them. Wish I had them in my fry tanks. These are what makes up the expensive Cyclop-eeze fry food.

As always thanks for the info Oddball... I guess that means i have some free fry food then...

I see them all the time in my daphnia and scud tubs. When I had cherry shrimp I saw them too.

They are these.

Totally harmless and I got alot of them in my shrimp tank. Also it's an indication that the water are good in there.​
