evey time i clean out my reactor (once a month) i find these little things that look like a transparent version of my shrimp. i have 2 skunk cleaners that are almost never with out eggs and i am wondering if these are the offspring of them. the supposed baby shrimp vary in siz from less than 1mm to 2mm. could these things be surviving in my reactor? i run half a cup of gfh and carbon in the reactor with just enough flow for a light tumble. at first i thought they were pods but as i looked closer over a period of time, they look like shrimp. anyway here are some pictures. these three are the best i could get.

oh awsome. free food :). can they breed and survive in systems? i'd love to have them around for my fish to snack on.
 
you will have them as long as your tank is running, take a close look at your macro- you will see them all over the place
