If you can get a good close up still photo that would help but yes I'd agree those look like amphipods from what I can tell. I have a ton of them.

Could also be munnid isopods. Amphipods tend to be flattened side-to-side (laterally), while munnids are more top-and-bottom (dorso-ventrally) flattened.

Both are good to have around!
