Who is this little guy?
Can anyone tell me what this is? It looks a little bit like the peppermint I have in my tank...
It has tiny little legs under it's belly, which scrambles like crazy when it swims forward.

That's an excellent macro shot of a copepod.

As your tank matures, you will have hundreds of these little guys. This is a good thing.

You guys are right. amphipod is more accurate than copepod.
