Was Harvesting Phytoplankton Culture found these no idea looks like a bunch of little copepods along with the critters about .25'' with a bunch of legs. Some looks like they a sack attached like babys? Maybe Large Brine shrimp with a bunch of babies?

Evening,

They do look like brine. I started my first brine culture growing to adult. They look like what I have found in my research and what mine are start to grow into.

I believe that they are are adult brine shrimp with babies. How they got into my T Phytoplankton No idea started scratch from everything with disk from Florida Aqua Farms. Culture is away from everything and still going super Green. Does anyone know if it would be possible to culture Phyto And Brine in the same vessel long term? I suppose that is what I have been doing this whole time.......
