little white bugs on glass

[hops523]

I was just looking at my tank and on the left side I saw one little white bugs. I then started looking around the glass and saw hundreds of these things. They look almost a little like baby mysis shrmp. They have little tails and theyre all over the glass. At one point I did think that my peppermint shrimp was going to have babies. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If you need more info just let me know.

Are they baby copepods? Because I know what copepodes look like and all that,but these guys are very very small. And are on the glass.

Copepods ARE very small... there are lots of different pods, but those tiny ones are as big as they get.

Yep, thats exactly what they look like, I didnt know they could be so small. Thanks
