I've got one of those Chinese made USB microscope (these microscopes aren't more for fun than science) today, hooked it up to my phone and tried taking some photos/videos of some of the little guys in the tank through the glass.
Please excuse the poor quality of the shots. It was much harder to use than I had expected.
Some tiny worms, I think they are only in certain areas. Its width is a little thicker than that of copepods.

Copepods. All little critters came with the rock so I don't know what kind of copepods these guys are. What was interesting was these guys seem to be glowing slightly on its sides.
This one below seem to be carrying some eggs on its tail I think?

A type of copepods or isopods? Theses ones look like stretched out copepods.
These ones looked kinda like the one above, they might even be the same thing. Super fast and would constantly run from the camera.

A small shrimp like fella.
Some small thin crustacean. They would move between the holes on the rocks and were never on the glass so it was hard to capture on camera. These guys were carrying a grain of sand around with them for some reason. Maybe they were carrying them somewhere?
These guys, I could only see their faces, facing out from the holes. They look kinda like insects and seem much bigger than the ones shown so far. There are two of them in the picture below. If you can't see them, check out the video.
Perhaps they were waiting for some other little guys to pass by so they could hunt them? No idea.
