So I have a 5.5 gallon freshwater planted tank. It was stocked with a betta and 3 snails but sadly my betta passed last week. I really had no problems with this tank and it's been up for roughly 8 months.

But about 3 days ago I noticed some little bug or shimpy looking guys swimming around with my snails in there. I have no clue what they are or how they got there and I'm pretty concerned that they will begin eating my plants and there are lots of little ones swimming g around that were too small to photograph

if you know what they are please let me know and also let me know how to get rid of them
