Bugs!

Can someone post a pic of these pods? I don't know what they look like. I saw a little tan thing scurry under a rock yesterday but it was too quick to get a pic.

I usually look at my fish tank with a magnifying glass after 'lights off' with a blue LED flash light so I see lots and lots of copepods, amphipods climbing on the rock and sandbed. A few times a month it seems they hatch new ones and the spawn swim around the bottom of the tank in swarms. I can't capture any pictures with my camera.

Basically they look like BUGS ... with long antenas ...

But here are a few pictures from the internet

the amphipods look like smaller shrimp to me.

That's what they are essentially. Just really small shrimp.
