Probably is the shrimp. It has been through a hard time with the bad water quality. I never expected it to make it this long.

are little bitty like 1/4 the size of a flea .. WHITE things moving around, maybe in the neighbor hood of 2 of the per inch of glass.. they move pretty fast, all i see is white, cannot make ANYTHING out as far as legs head or what ever...

They are pods. Good for the tank. Fish etc will eat them once added.

I got two snails need to look them up for the names of them, and a little green grab looking thing to start cleaning up the rock and so on.. they said I will need alot more of them but for now just use one of each until we are 100% on the water and the environment in the tank, I agreed
