Copepods with tails?

I have a large number of small critters in my chaeto. They are too small to photograph but are larger than the copepods I have seen. They also have much longer tails than I have ever seen in any copepod picture. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to what I might be looking for or where to find information?

agree. There are also many more pods than copepods. Amphipods and isopods come to mind.
