+2 for amphipod, harmless and a good member of the clean up crew. They eat left over food and waste. The easy way to tell them apart is amphipods look like they are hunched up and often scoot around on their side, Isopods look like aquatic ants with symmetrical bodies, Copepods have shorter bodies and have a tail.
