So was cleaning my mystery snail tank an seen these tiny things move on the glass, thought I was seen things until I used my phone an zoomed in an seen this! What is it an should I be worried?IMG_5515.JPG
 
It's a species of copepod, apocyclops royi from what I found. Harmless (they eat algae) and fish will eat them.
 
May have to move my sailfin Molly’s to my snail tank then, more room an I’ll add plants to give the tons a babie apple snails a place to kinda hide
