Does anyone know what this transparent bug looking thing is? I’ve seen it crawling around a few times at night only

Scuds. Amphipod, they are a detritivore. They're good to have. You can actually cultivate them for food. Pretty easy to do too. Especially in freshwater. Just throw them in a jar with something for them to chow breed like crazy

You can put the saltwater ones freshwater?

User Avatar @DHood10 147d

No. There's a freshwater variant. They're incredibly easy too culture.

Amphipod?

User Avatar @SoothingGalaxy17 147d

Amphipods are chill totally harmless little clean up crew bros

User Avatar @DHood10 147d

They're the best cleanup crew. I wish more people knew to seed their tank with these before they get anything else in them. Their tanks would be in so much better shape and not end up with old tank syndrome. Especially good with the corals cuz they'll eat all the crap out from in between them

Right? Amphipods are like the unsung heroes of the reef! Plus, they don’t throw any tang fits either
