Probably Gammarus. Yes, they can eat your plants. Small to medium Cichlids will eat them. Bettas can eat the little ones, but not the bigger ones. I once tried Gammarus to see if they would eat hair algae. They did. And then they ate all my plants.
Shrimp looking insects?
Hi guys
I just placed some plants in my aquarium however there are some shrimp looking insects jumping around inside the water.
What are they and how can i remove them?
They are eating plants for sure because i can see some bright green showing through their bodies.
Thanks

Ah, yeah they are Gammarus.
Are there other fish that eat them? they are fairly small, around 3-5mm large

Small to medium Cichlids, Bettas, or other medium sized Anabantids. A convict cichlid would be perfect.
