Do a search for pods on the boards. You'll find numerous threads on the subject. Bottom line though: They are great for your tank and a sign it is doing well. There are almost certain a ton of them in there you aren't seeing.

Here is a good thread on the different pods in a tank (by THomas712).
Amphipods, Copepods, Isopods

 

[reneerose]

that is what it is.....do they get bigger or do they just pretty much stay really small?

I do believe we have a successful pod explosion!!!

Amphipods don't get bigger than about 1/2"
