Apologies for the shaky video, I was so far zoomed in that every minuscule movement looked like an earthquake. But who are these tiny zoomy friends in my planted jar? They seem to spend most time near the substrate, scooting around quickly. I assume they came from the cuttings I took from my 5gallon tank. I quite like them, can I encourage more by occasionally feeding the jar? The only macro fauna I have in here so far is a little bladder snail, but there are snail eggs so I anticipate more before too long. If this jar gets over populated I have lots of room in the tank to move some friends over.

Most likely copepods. They usually stick around and breed to keep the population going.
