Lucky! That’s an aquatic isopod. People pay good money to get those
Totally harmless detritivore, like shrimp.
Edit: maybe Asellus aquaticus.

It’s an aquautic isopod! I’m trying to breed some.
They are amazingly effective clean up crews.
No danger to live fish but will chew on dead fish.

Some sort of sowbug or pill bug I’m assuming.

This is an aquatic isopod. I have them in one of my tanks. Had no issues, they live in harmony with my scuds and ramshorns. IDK if they are okay with shrimp.

Oh definitely toss that one back in. Aquatic isopods are an excellent part of the clean up crew and people pay good money for them.
