Tiny white bugs....

[Silverdot1211]

So I have a newer tank let's say 6months old...just notice in the last couple days that my water is cloudy. At first I thought it's just the glass being dirty. Upon further inspection my water has thousands of these tiny tiny "bug" they remind my of a very fast moving aphid..... as a side note I did seed my tank with pods. Is it possible they just had a population explosion. My thinking is that these are something different because they are smaller and the pods I put in had a reddish tint to them


In the picture you can see all the little white dots near the surface...that's them.

Pods. I added amphipods and they're white, the tsibe pods I can't even see but I have so many that everything is fat and healthy

Sweet thanks everyone!!!!....Brand new to saltwater so I'm just being overly cautious I guess....

They are copepods, amphipods are larger (like 5mm, copepods are like 1mm).
