Tiny white bugs in substrate

[Saucy840]

Hello everyone while I was out today my girlfriend did some observations while filming and snaping photos of the tank. These tiny tiny white bugs in the substrate floating n crawling threw it. I have no idea what it is I read a thing online about Copepods but I don't think that's what it is. I'll try n upload a picture or video best way to explain it. I have live plants with eco complete if that makes any difference.

Lots of little critters can hitchhike on plants, a pic or video would definitely help.

I know little buggers sometimes come with plants but everything Im this tank is from my 75 that was setup for over a year and I didn't notice these little bugs before. I have not added anything new same filters fish substrate light plants. I have no idea what they could be or how they got here lol plants and fish are awesome and the levels are fine it's been setup for about 2 months and tonight is the first siting of these guys.

Are they wormlike or do they dart around?

My guess is seed shrimp / ostracods. Are they whitish colored? In the open water do they swim in a circular pattern?

Ostracods or cyclops.

Pretty sure they look like the ostracods or the copepods. They seems to swim or float around in the water sometimes to about maybe half way up the tank but most are in the substrate and not on any plants or anything. And yes they are little white dots.
