Sorta looks like daphnia if so they’re not harmful and Shrimps can benefit from them 🙂

SCUDS! They’re harmless and adorable! I have a tank dedicated to them, they love the filter media and sand. Great treats for any fish that can eat them.

Seed shrimps and scuds can cohab with shrimps just fine. They’ll eat whatever the shrimp don’t eat, so be careful not to over feed the tank or the army will grow, and they can potentially out compete the shrimps. If you ever add small fish to this tank (assuming it’s at least 5 gal) or have a bigger tank with fish, they’re free live food. Just suck em out with a turkey baster if you have to transfer them around

More likely to be seed shrimp than scuds due to a lack of segmented joints and their small size.
