This is probably a newbie question... so please bare with me :)

I have a ton of pods of all sizes (including some really scary huge ones) in my 50g tank, but I also have even greater numbers of these tiny little super fast shrimp (definitely not pods... I breed cherry shrimp and the very young ones look just like these critters). They are practically swarming around racing on the rocks at night and can be seen in darker areas during the day, they are very small (large pod sized) and very fast.

Tank only holds a green spotted puffer and a maroon clown. Just curious as to what the shrimp are... seems like they must be to small or to fast to interest my two fish.

Most likely they are Mysid Shrimp (AKA Oppossum Shrimp)
