Found on my window
Well not moved my window cover for weeks so today gave the fish some daylight as temps reached a barmy 9c found around 6 of these things dead between the cover and the window, any idea what they are ?

I've had the little mites all year there on the outside of wall of the easypod and are cling on to the inside of pipe work.

hi arceye,
gammarus / sideswimmers / scuds apparently all the same thing, reading up they survive on excess food, fish waste,plants and organic matter, where they are hiding i do not know but apparently multiply in their thousands cannot see any live ones anywhere so god knows where these 6 came from...2200 gallons,infinity window,
