The amphipod, also known as gammarus and mormysh, is a genus of small crustaceans that are common inhabitants of both fresh and salt water bodies in the Northern Hemisphere. Many aquarists are familiar with gammarus as a nutritious food for fish or water turtles. Almost any bird market sells it in cups in dry form. It is often used both frozen and alive to feed a variety of domestic animals. And at fish factories, it sometimes becomes indispensable. Some fishermen consider the mormysh to be one of the best live baits and always happily put it on the hook.
But not everyone is familiar with the peculiarities of the life of the amphipod itself. But this is a very interesting creature, which, under certain conditions, can itself become a curious inhabitant of the aquarium world. Let's talk about it in a little more detail in this video.
