    Now this is something I've never seen before. There are little tiny thing on the glass, and they can actually move pretty quickly. If you zoom in on the one picture you can see that the little guy has antenna's on his head. It reminds me of a little shrimp. Are these some type of "pods" ?

    Nothing at all to be worried about......good food for lots of different fish...usually a good sign that tank is doing well.

    Yeah, I have a few baby snails in my tank from the sand or rock I bought. They don't look anything alike.
