Lunch Special: Amphipods

Are there fish that will consume these as well as other forms of food? My tank is only a 38g, so I doubt seriously I could get a mandarin goby... :(
What other choices are out there? My tank is FULL of them. At least I'm 99% sure that's what they are! I don't mind them, but if they are just allowed to run rampant, will they take over my tank?
Any advice is appreciated.
:cool:

What about a scooter blenny? Anyone? Mine eats all the time.

You know what I have the same thing. These amphipods are just annoying. I have a feeling that they are harmful towards other tankmates, though I'm still not sure. I have lost several snails that had amphipods living in them, and also I noticed big holes on my feather dusters after letting these amphipods playing around the tubes. I just don't know what to do.

Any other comments on what fish might be best to get before I head to the LFS this weekend?

Pods are not a bad thing to have in your tank. The more you have the better. I would not be in such a hurry to get rid of them. They eat detritus which keeps nitrates down and contributes to the overall health of your tank.
