Isopods?

[.Haliax.]

Grabbed a quick pic of these guys before I had to run out the door to work this morning. A little research tells me they’re isopods, but does the tiny size/grouping like this indicate that they’re good/bad isopods? I’m assuming they’re the good kind.
Thanks for any input.

Dude that's crazy! I have a lot of isopods but I've never seen them gather like that. I've never heard anything negative about them. I just think of them as CUC/ live food.

Munnid isopods, probably, and I don't know of anything bad being attributed to them. I've seen some population explosions of them before and while they do have the creepy-crawly factor, they haven't harmed anything. Wonder if the congregation of them here was food, spawning, or something else - I at least don't remember them clustering together so much.

Thanks, I think you’re right.

@.Haliax. I agree with @DaJMasta and you might be noticing them more if you are starting to get more of a film or any nuisance algae on your glass.

Thanks. I have been battling a new 'hard to scrape' algae on my glass the past few weeks.
