I can't see anything in the pic, but its probably a scud/gammarus, which is a really small fresh water shrimp. I have quite a few of them in my tank which hitchhiked in on something. They don't seem to bother my cherry red shrimp at all, and are kind of fun to watch, so I left them in there. I have gotten berried shrimp while they were in my tank as well.
 
Cant see anything in the pick either but it could be copepods. Harmless.
