I got the best pictures I could. I recently just noticed these on my glass. I recently seeded my tank with pods. I was hoping that maybe I’m praying that’s what they are?

Anyone???

Yes, they appear to move like a pod would. If the tank is newer, they tend to bloom early on (as food sources are high in newer tanks) and later stabilize to a normal number for the food available.

I can't see it clear enough.....might be isopods or copepods or even amphipods.

Here's a common isopod
