    The next tank for them will be 240g and then 1000g. The 30g is my bedroom QT/DT/IT tank, so that I can watch them very carefully. They already doubled in 1 month :)



    This is what I'm thinking as well. I'm very focused on creating a small healthy tank, before my big project.

    the fact that they are "too small" to describe in shape means they are most likely pods and nothing to worry about :)

    +1 to pods and that would be awesome to have a bunch of baby cleaner shrimp in your tank and when they got bigger you could sell them too :)

    Copepods

    Copepods it is, but my fish ate 60% of them already during the day. As of now they started showing up on glass again as my fish went to sleep.

    Perhaps a recent nutrient spike has allowed them to overpopulate?
