    I've been watching these little things swim around in the rocks, and now there seems to be alot more.:wry:
    I have been looking at most of the pic. I can find, but have not had much luck .
    They don't come out, they just hang out 4 or 5 of them together at diff. places in the tank.
    They swim like sm. fish kinda see though and are less than a 1/4 long. Tryed to take pic. of them but my camera is not able to get them. any idea's of what they could be?

    Copepods or something in that realm, My tank is full of them. They're safe, in fact, thats a great source of food for some fish.
