another question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have these almost microscopic little white things walking all over my glass in the new green algae forming everywhere(what's taking over after my lovely diatom bloom). Are these copepods? VERY TINY to the point where I can't get a picture. Some are slightly elongated, others are round with a little tail.

Very likely yes. Those are safe and make great snacks for fish
