Kind of hard to see but based on some quick searching I'm going to guess phantom midge larvae. Check them out on Google images. Seems like they are basically a clear version of bloodworms that can have a yellow to green color.
We should be able to get an ID with some close ups though.

That is interesting, I'm not sure what that is. I don't think I've ever seen it bfore.
Thanks for the quick response Cory. I'll see if I can round up a few of them in a smaller container for easier viewing. This may well be the last time I order plants from a Co-Op competitor.

Hello fish nerds, I recently started a planted 20 long that I'm hoping to start a new breeding project in. I ordered plants online, they came in looking healthy and covered in snails. I saw this as a free gift, since I really believe snails to be beneficial in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. I did not treat the plants to rid them of any other hitch hikers. After a week or so of initial planting, I noticed a few interesting developments.
- The snails had begun to lay eggs
- I have at least one isopod (he has since been named Jitters)
- There are some sort of mystery free swimming green organisms hovering about in the water column
I've attached a link to a video of one of the buggers, pardon the sound of me breathing lol.

By golly, I think you've done it! I poked at one with a mechanical pencil and it quickly retracted. Thank you so much for your help Jack. Whatever you're doing, you deserve a raise.
