Pods in my tank...ID?

I took these images of some of the different pods I have found in my tank lately.

The two in the bottom right corner I am pretty sure are a form of Amphipod...correct? And the top right is a copepod?

But the other 4 I am not sure of. The 2 in the top left are the same guy and the 2 below them are different, but look like maybe different gender of the same species. I am worried that these are a form of dangerous Isopods. Does anyone recognize them?

Great page Cloak ! :)

Charles: I think you're right. All appear to be Amphipods, except the copepod in top right picture.
 
Check out munnid isopods. The top one appears to be a male, which have big foreclaws. They are harmless grazers. I had tons for a while, but now I don't see as many and have more like the bottom right.
