[video] What types of pods are these?

[djkms]

So here is a short video of my fuge. I have so many bugs in there its just crazy. System is 6 months old. I am afraid the big ones are Isopods and if so what should I do?

nothing to worry about totally normal, i want to say those are amphipods

[mallorieGgator]

amphipods. They are fine. I have a bunch. Sometimes they irritate the corals by running through them but other than that, they are fine. The fish love them. I have watched the amphipods hunt copepods and good isopods though so if you have those, the population will likely decrease.

Even the massive one on the top left that makes a appearance @26 seconds?

[mallorieGgator]

Yep! They can get quite large. I had bad isopods in my tank and those sure aren't it. :)

Great! Just the info I was hoping for. Thanks Mallorie :)

I wish I had a pod population like that. Mine has dwindled over the years. I have to figure out how to re-populate!

I massively overfeed. I have too though to keep my macros alive.

LOL, yeah...I never mess with the fuge. I clean it about once a week.

Drop a couple of small food pellets in there & see what happens LOL.
We have tons and tons of amphipods in the fuge & the DT. In the fuge, I drop in a few crab pellets and they run over, grab them, and carry them away!
