What these creatures are?

[Harshit]

This morning when I was looking at the growth of my water plants, I found some weird creatures swimming around like a fish in those bucket. They're around one millimeter in length

If anyone can recognize them please let me know what they are

Copepods, tiny crustaceans. They eat microscopic plants and bacteria.

That looks specifically like a cyclops...

And they're having over 400 species.

Now I'm wondering that how those people can swim in natural pools with these creatures.

Hey, Seen something strange. The 2 planted white buckets where I captured those Cyclops previously, now the inner surface of one of those buckets is very neat and white and the other bucket's surface looks very ugly(both were looking same few days ago) like some brownis dirt is sticked all round the surface.

Then I realized that there are 1000s of tiny creatures in that clear bucket of same length as cyclops. They swim n dive very smoothly like a water beetle and shape is also like beetles. And I'm thinking that somehow this bucket is cleaned by this army only.\

Comment please...Any idea what they are? or what they do? or where they came from? etc...

A photo would help, but I will venture to guess that they are probably Daphnia. One of the many, many different meio-invertebrates ubiquitous to fresh water environments.

Was not able to focus on them with digicam but somehow managed with mobile cam with a droplet for more closure look.
Not much clear but you can get an idea how they look
