Can anyone identify this pod?

Hello, this pod I found interesting as it is dark, and fairly long, maybe a quarter inch or so. Is it predatory? It's in my s uh mp and I have many amphipods and copepods in the sump. Thanks!

Not quite sure what I am looking at. Very fuzzy pictures. Maybe circle it? Does it look like a shrimp or chiton?

If it's the thing I circled, that looks like an amphipod. My Mandarin goes nuts for those and they're great for eating detritus.

I know it's an amphipod, just didnt k low what kind. It's the only dark gray one that I have, most are white.

Munnid isopod or gammarid amphipods leaning towards the gammarid based on the gray description

Thank you, I was interested in it because it was so different

After looking at pictures I believe it is a gammarid amphipod
