I have seen a few of these in my tank, and have no idea what they are. I caught one the other day after removing water and cleaning the substrate with a vacuum. I know there have to be several of them. At first I thought it was a shrimp or baby crayfish, but I don't think it is. It swims very quick and zig-zag like. It's very tiny, this is a zoomed in picture.
I first noticed these when removing 5 marimo moss balls from my tank to soak in a clean container of cold water while cleaning out my tank. When I went to reshape the moss balls and put them back in my tank, I saw 2-3 of these things swimming around in the container. I thought maybe it was baby crayfish because we used to have a crayfish, but it died about a month ago.
Hopefully we can identify what it is, and if we can, does it present a problem for my tank?
