What is this... It doesnt look like any kind of pod that I have seen before. my fish have ich but I didnt think that you could see them these things are tiny maybe about the size of a small piece of dust or maybe a grain of powdered sugar. I just put coppersafe in the tank yesterday and they are still alive. I added 140 ML in a 115 gallon tank.

Looks like a drawing of a copepod to me.

Me too. I don't have great pics as they are so small.

Sure looks like a copepod outline to me. I just got this photo last night and it is a Harpacticoid (copepod) species. Great fish food and harmless phytoplankton consumer.

ok, I guess they are pods but why doesnt the copper kill them? that is probablw a good indication that there is not enough copper huh?
