I dont know what to do they are in my shrimp tank i could get fish i guess like chilli  Rasboras or pygby corydora

they’re definitely seed shrimp/ostracods. They aren’t harmful, water mites don’t swim around like that, and daphnia and copepods have a more jerky motion of swimming plus look differently. I can say with an almost 99% guarantee they’re some species of seed shrimp

Wow! I think those are pretty cool! I did a tiny bit of research. If your use the forum search field, you'll find a few threads about seed shrimp that may make you feel a lot better about having them.

Wow, you have a lot! I have a few in my 5 gallon where they seem to enjoy living among the large stones. Mine are greenish and chubby and I usually see just one or two swimming at once. It’s been several months and there’s been no population explosion. My guppies pay them no attention that I can see.
