They are amphipods. No worries.

Definitely Amphipods and a good sign that your tank is maturing. These are great, all natural, fish food when they get caught swimming in the open.

Yep,Amphipods.

When I clean out filters I put the pods back in and the fish go nuts!

not all amphipods are great. some are predatorial and if you notice any polyps disappearing with these guys always on them...........dont doubt for a minute that they could be the culprit.

The vast majority of them are harmless, and I personally cant tell the difference between the ones that are and the ones that arent by looking at them, but I guarantee you that some of these things are little b&%$&^d's.
