When I look at my LR at night, I see these fast little things with bug eyes. They look kind of like little tiny fish w/o fins? Maybe a micro sized version of something from the movie "Dune"? Does anyone know what these are?

And, I have these little shrimp like things that are all over everything as soon at the lights are out.

Thanks for help!

A year or over. These things are too fast to take any pics of sorry

They kind of remind me of helicopters.

From your description I can only guess that you have mysids aka possum shrimp. That is good by the way.
