I found these in a bucket that had some water in it. I couldn't focus the camera to these unknown creatures but I drew them to the best of my ability:

Wait, so what was your question?

Re: I need this question answered immeidatly!!!

My bad, the question I need answered is "What could this possibly be?" , but I can keep trying to get a better focus on these things.

Go to Google Images and type in "copepod". They usually have only one eye, not two.

 

[BlackWolf25]

Nope, thats not it...

 

[gcollin]

yes but why "immediatly"?

 

[BlackWolf25]

Just because if I can find out, the pet store will buy a lot of them

 

[gcollin]

yes but you made it sound really urgent. like your pet was sick.

 

[caudatadude28]

Gcollin please use proper punctuation. I am not sure what that is. I have never seen anything like it before.

It kind of looks like an overhead view of a daphnia to me, except it has a tail. Is this creature moving flat across the bottom of the bucket or is it swimming?

Google for Mosquito larvae images?

I agree, Pete. Almost certainly mosquito larvae.

How about mayfly nymphs (naiads / order Ephemeroptera)?

Thank you everyone for helping me out. They are Mosqito(dont know how to spell that) Larvae. Thanks Distefan. OH! Would these be safe to feed my Fire Bellied Newts?

 

[Kaysie]

Yes.

And I don't see the pet shop buying mosquitoes from you.
