Today while feed Bates, I noticed small bug like creatures on a patch of algae. After a lot or research I think they are copepods because they have the same tail-like prostrusion seen in this video

I tried to take a picture but it's with my phone so you can't see much.

If these aren't copepods then how could I identify them?
 
Those are copepods :happy: Very cool thing to have in a tank, in my opinion.
 
Oh phew that's a relief! I was worried that they were some sort of deadly parasite or something

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
