Ostracods / seed shrimp?

[Andrew Butler]

Unsure if these little fellas are Ostracods / seed shrimp or maybe something else?

Best pictures I could get with my phone but to give you an idea of size this is ADA powder so are pretty tiny.

Are these something I should be concerned about? - reading goes a bit of both ways assuming my diagnosis is right.

Video just to show how they are zipping around - link below

Photo of dwarf otto to go with it too; think it's unrelated and guessing it's likely something fungal but unsure.
Opinions welcome

thanks for the confirmation Darrel; I did search on here but wasn't too much info.

Any ideas about the Otto?

Thanks

Not really, you could try asking on PlanetCatfish.
