Copepods??

Today while feed Bates, I noticed small bug like creatures on a patch of algae. After a lot or research I think they are copepods because they have the same tail-like prostrusion seen in this video

I tried to take a picture but it's with my phone so you can't see much.



If these aren't copepods then how could I identify them?

Those are copepods :happy: Very cool thing to have in a tank, in my opinion.

Oh phew that's a relief! I was worried that they were some sort of deadly parasite or something
