It's a freshwater tank and those two are about 6 to 7mm long. Upon closer examination I noticed a BAJILLION speck-sized babies (I assume) in there.

That's question number one: What are they? Question number two is can I (and if so, how can I) raise them to feed my pea puffers if they are indeed something like amphipods? Because by the look of it they've already started "culturing" themselves.

Oh. And perhaps my biggest question of all: where the heck did they come from?!
