Isopod or amphipod?

[Oiseaufeu]

Hi, I found this last night in my tank. Don’t mind my bryopsis/hair algae problem, please. It’s bigger than copepods and it doesn’t look like an amphipod. I never saw my amphipods on the glass. It was big enough for my camera to pick it up with my reverse mounted lens. Any idea of what this is?

I look at my tank every night. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.

Amphipod and a little larger than copepod.
Isopod as below looks more like a pill bug

Thanks! Do amphipods climb on glass? I never saw mine do it.

That's a munnid isopod - harmless.

Looking on a larger screen…. Agree- Minnie isopod- same disposition as amphi

Thanks! I try my best at taking macro photos of tiny animals with a reverse mounted lens (totally affects some functions in my lens). And this forum doesn’t take large photos, so I had to change the format of my photo because of that.
