its a small bug looking them that lives in the rocks in your tank.
Looks kinda like a flea crawling arounfd the tank.
if you want to look for them use a flashlight at night with a red filter. they can move fast LOL

Pods are generally tiny little crustaceans when in this hobbies context and general thinking. There are huge isopods and such in nature, but when talking tanks.....usually quite small.
