please ID this creature...

Any idea what these are? They move and look like small shrimp. I thought they might be copepods, but they are 8mm long and all data I have seen says that copepods are about 1mm long.

Just amphipods. The ones that show up in tanks are for the most part scavengers, herbivores, and detritivores. They're generally good for tanks & a welcome food for many small fish.
