Epitaph Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Not shrimplets; their sizes are too small and their movement are very different from how a newborn shrimp moves. Looks something along the lines of a seed shrimp to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Yes, they look like copepods to me. They're little white bugs that hang out when water conditions are good and their population isn't being reduced by predators. Copepods are generally harmless, but if they annoy you, you could look into methods of removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
