Any idea

[Vincent100]

Hi all
So my lights have been off for a couple hours , by now all my fish are asleep, anyway tonight they are all over the tank feeding on what looks like tiny baby shrimp
I can't get pics of the shrimp as they are so small but there are hundreds of them swimming about
What are they
I have 2 peppermint shrimp
1 cleaner
1 , I forget the name but it's red with white spots
I don't really think these things have come from my shrimp
Anyone help me
Thanks

Likely amphipods. Good food source for your tank.

Amphipod or Mysid shrimp.
