Cricket?

Ok I have tried, as I know everyone wants a picture, well let me tell you....can not get one! I have tried but this little bugger sees me coming and hides really quickly so I am going to do the best I can to explain what he looks like and tell me if you think you know what he is! If I were to see him on dry land I would say he is a cricket. He hops like a cricket but yet also scurries like a little bug. He doesn't like bright light as I only see him when the lights are off! He has antena just like any other bug but has longer back legs. He has no color to him and is kinda see through. I guess you could say he was grey. Any ideas? If someone gives me an idea I could go research pictures to see if it is him. Please let me know and thanks in advance! ;D

 

amphipod?

Yup that is it! Thanks! I have one that is really big. Are they good for my tank?

 

They are scavengers and a lot of finicky fish that require live foods love them.

 

I have so many of these in my tank it makes my skin crawl to think of them, lucky I only see them when the lights are off!!!

 

All I ever see is the molts of them, boy are they quick when the lights come on.
