tiny shrimp in refuge

I cannot get a pic because they are so small. They look like shrimp, but are only about 1/10 of an inch. I've seen them before in my tank, but I knew that the fish would eat them. I now see a bunch of them in my refuge. What are they and are they going to eat my smaller pods? Just added tiggerpods, don't want to waste money if the "unidentified" are going to eat them all.thanks.

 

well if they eat you tiggerpods i still don't think it will be a waste of money becuase they will reproduce and ur fish will get a bigger meal

 

Any idea what they are? Large pods or what?

 

i would guess just amphipods

 

Maybe amphipods.

 

beat you to it reeron lol

 

Yeah, and I thought I was typing quickly. Boy was I surprised to see someone beat me.

 

Do they eat the phytoplanton or do the eat smaller copepods?

 

Mysis shrimps most likely they as will the pods wash out then get pumped up to the tank and eaten. I can always tell when something is flushing up from the fuge into the sump down in the basement as the fish all stay right in front of the feed lines from the sump . They will all just hover then see them shoot like rocket for no reason its free meat
