Jbotelho85 Non-member Jan 5, 2019 #1 Hello, this pod I found interesting as it is dark, and fairly long, maybe a quarter inch or so. Is it predatory? It's in my s uh mp and I have many amphipods and copepods in the sump. Thanks!

OP OP Jbotelho85 Non-member Jan 5, 2019 #4 I know it's an amphipod, just didnt k low what kind. It's the only dark gray one that I have, most are white.

OP OP Jbotelho85 Non-member Jan 24, 2019 #6 Thank you, I was interested in it because it was so different
OP OP Jbotelho85 Non-member Jan 24, 2019 #7 After looking at pictures I believe it is a gammarid amphipod
