isopods

New to the Forum. About 2 months ago I bought some Cheato from Algae Barn. Since then it has been in a newly-established quarantine tank, which contains nothing but water, the Chaeto, and the usual aquarium equipment. No substrate, nothing else. I now have hundreds of little isopods in the...

Hey guys, Can you please help me ID? I have a picotank with sexyrimp and ricordea s and just found this guy :) So... what and who is this guy? Please help me :) The video mostly includes its but (i think) you also see him pooping at the end Thanks!

As the title ask; I'm wondering if these larger Amphipods and or Isopods will eat the Tisbes or Tiggers that I'm planning on putting in my sump. I'm trying to repopulate my tank for a Mandarin in case the one I have now starves. He's currently starving and I'm trying to save him. Don't want to...
