Looks like a shrimp molt. Do you have a cleaner shrimp or something alike?

 

[donny619]

Yes... except really tiny and white.

+1 to amphipods.

As always.. thanks for replies! Funny thing is my fishes spit them out when these things go into their mouths. Would have figured they'd like live food for once..

+1 to amphipods.

Not all fish like amphipods. They're a little large for some. Yours look like what we call the "Tiger amphipods" as hey have stripes and get pretty big.
