Good day all,

Just cleaned out my sump and found these guys in one of my filter socks. wondering if I should be concerned or if these guys are good?

Thanks

thank you for the quick response. They look and feel pretty creepy when they are crawling on your skin!

yep, amphipods, good little snacks for any fish that want to eat them. Also a small part of the CUC. I have bunches living in my sump.
