What are Ostracods?
Ostracods are a class of small crustaceans commonly known as Seed Shrimp due to their small size, typically smaller than a poppy seed or up to 1 mm. Their carapace, the upper shell of crustaceans, is bivalved, giving them their other common name Mussel Shrimp.
Where do these Ostracods live, and what do they eat?

is a species of seed shrimp found in Florida that has a worldwide distribution; it is found in freshwater environments around the world. Members of this species feed on periphyton, which is a combination of algae, cyanobacteria, heterotrophic microbes (bacteria, yeast, and molds), and detritus (dead organic material) attached to aquatic vegetation
.
A great live food for fish, and fry!
