What is this????

[biofish]

I’m pulling decorations out of my tank and this thing ran into my hand. What is it

I put it in a cup of water to keep it alive till identification but it’s floating and seems to have drowned??? Maybe??? So I’m very confused

Better pics. Is this a shrimp??? I’ve never bought any before but I did buy a new plant not too long ago. It’s not dead yet. It’s just kinda floating on the surface of the water in the cup??

After quick research, is it a freshwater scud??

Gammarid/ Gammaris species
harmless scavenger, put it back in the tank.

Got it! Put him back!

Thank you for always helping us, Colin!

Funny how these things just suddenly materialise in tanks isn't it?
Actually I was thinking wood louse, which in a way are related to shrimp.
