Anyone know what these are? I had a spring damsel die in QT and put in fresh water and there are a ton of these in the water so not sure if it came from fish or if i happened to scope up when scoping fish out.

Thanks, That's what I was thinking as well but all the ones I have seen were much larger so wasn't sure as these you could only see in the right light and were about the size of pods
 
Those look like copepods. They didn't do your fish in, but they're not going to pass up that much free food!

Amphipods tend to bend in the other direction.
