little critters

[bolt696]

Hello,

This morning I noticed 100's of little critters all over the glass. They are clear and are smaller than 1/2 the size of a grian of rice. Almost look like baby ants. They do have legs and appear to be pretty agressive when another one bumps in to it. I have not added anything ne to the tank in over 8 months.

Anyone have any ideas?

Pods?

May be amphipods. Look like this?



They are ok, and will eat detrius.

I clicked the link. They are to small to get a realgood detailed shape. That one looks green. If they are ok, it still looks like someone splashed 100's of paint drops on the glass.
