Sounds like the little critters I sometimes collect to feed my fish. I don't
know what they are, but my fish love them. They survived the aslt soak in a
cyst form. The fish will love them. If they were parasitic, they would die
overnight without a host. Give the tank a couple days to see what they do.
Then add a couple fish and see if they eat these things. Free fish food. :-)
