This morning I woke up to find hundreds(ish) of these little guys floating around near the surface of my 50 gallon. At first I thought they were fish eggs (I have a trio of A. occellaris, pair of Synchiropus stellatus, and a couple other single fish) but after throwing them under the microscope, they definitely are not. Was it some sort of amphipod bloom? They really don't look like amphipods to the naked eye, and I have never seen them in these numbers and they are all about the same size. I don't have any shrimp (that I know of), I have various sorts of hermit crabs and snails, one red emerald crab. Any ideas?
