I think I remember you? What are you again?

So this morning I woke up and turned on the lights to my aquariums. I noticed little tine white creatures that looked like copepods (but much smaller) crawling on the glass. Then I remembered seeing that while cycling my 14gal. I know they are not bad, but could it be larvae for copepods and/or isopods? I don't know exactly what they are, but I'm just curious. They are about 10x smaller than a copepod. Anybody know?

or maybe they are juvenile copepods?

That is my guess, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Could be a million things really. What is the swimming pattern? Jerky? Fluid? Circles?

They don't swim. They crawl on the glass... :-X

If you want to capture some and get them to Max @ TAS Wenesday, I'll put them under the scope and ID them for you

That would be nice, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it all the way out there. Thanks for offering though!
