I believe this guy and all it's buddies are good for my tank. Don't seem to be doing anything adverse that I can see or tell.

Ever since I moved the fish out of my R250 these guys have come out and cover everything including the glass, rocks, and sand bed.

I have experience with amphipods that are larger and curled up towards it rear. These guys seem pretty flat but look like amphipods to me and are a lot smaller.

Am I right to assume these are good guys and just another type of amphipods?

Do they eat smaller pods? I put a bottle of tisbee pods in
after relocating the fish and haven't seen anything from it since except these guys. It's been a good month now. Regular dosing of phyto but haven't seen anything that looks like a pod.

Amphipods might, though I doubt munnid isopods would do so.
