I have had these little bug like creatures crawling around one of the rocks in my tank for about 2 weeks. The past 2 days I have been able to make out that the creatures have tails so I had to immediately come ask you guys on here. I have 2 fire shrimp and I began to wonder if maybe they bred. These creatures have become increasingly larger over the 2 weeks. Sorry the pictures below aren’t that great quality. Pleas let me know if the video does not work. Thanks! 5AD3BB40-6B32-4DEE-8BA6-117C95CD3C4C.png

The video worked and I did get a glimpse of a tiny shrimp like creature. Very nice!

Looks like probably mysid shrimp. Good hitchhikers.
