Is this a pod?

See it? Either can my camera. It is about a mm long, and cyclinder shaped. I cannot see any feelers on it, but then again it is really small. When it moves, it scurries along as if on very miniature legs and and moves very fast for its size. The only place I have seen them is on the cleaning magnet in between the rows of cleaning hooks. Every couple hrs there is several on the underside of it. They are a dirty white color.

Any ideas? Here is what they look like ( . ) (if the period was white):lolspin:

google copepod, isopod (which is what it sounds like to me), and amphipod and find out!

Already did...But these things are so small, I can't make out any specific features to compare to a blown up photo. It kinda looks like the isopod the more I study it. Manderin's like iso's right???

That's what magnifying glasses are for!

I have a handy dandy magnifying glass that I keep very close to the tank for scoping out little creatures. It's helped me many a time trying to take pictures as well. It's amazing the life you'll see in your tank using one compared to just the naked eye.

Hmm. I feel like a blonde stuck in a round room trying to find the corner. A magnifying glass!!! Genious! Now I'm going to scurry away myself and find one...stay tuned

I bought mine at Walmart, over by the reading glasses in the pharmacy area. It's not a very good one, though, so I'm going to look for a better one (this one's too crappy to take pics through). I used to have a camera that took REALLY good macro pics, and that's how I figured out what everything tiny looked like LOL.
