My LFS told me that I had an isopod in my tank based on a video I showed them. I think this is the same critter, can you tell me what this is?

*IMPORTANT EDIT* and if it IS, could there be more?????

Thank GOD.... I love y’all. Do you guys think this is the same critter?

Yes, amphipod are great clean up crew. I have a ton of them in my system. Fish love eating them too!
