ID on Copopods - Big pic's

noskimmer · Jun 10, 2007

Took these pic's today of the inside of my glass cleaner, for some reason the pods love it here (I'm sure they are everywhere else but you can't see them). My sump glass is covered in them, but a smaller type. Here are the pic's. The top pic is about 1" square.

Thanks guys. I think I have another two types that I can easily see after looking at the link Magnettae posted they are "Harpacticoid copepods and Munnid isopods" more of the really little ones., and a third type which seems to be just in the water column which you can see at night when you shine a torch, they swim like a cloud to the light.. I'll try and get some pic's of the other ones..
