I realize there are 2 other small bugs crawling around towards the bottom, but I am most curious about the larger one at the top with 2 antennae. Sorry, this is a very zoomed in iphone video.
 
Look like Isopod hard to tell from the video.

Ca you take photo/video of it, in white container Please? And if you can zoom it or take closer distance to it. Also a bit longer may help a bit more ;)
 
See if you can put it in a clear mason jar and take a pic from the bottom close up? My first thought is it is too large to be a copepod..
 
Unfortunately I have already dumped the water from the bowl with the bug. I just happened to see it swimming next to a rock and scooped it out. I will post another pic if I see another one.
