About The Gammarus, commonly known as scuds are a tiny crustacean that lives basically everywhere on the planet in one form or another. There are over 200 species of Gammarus making them one of the animals on the planet that are most prolific – with the most variety, and you all thought there were many types of dogs and cats. There are fresh water types, salt water types, and brackish types of water.
These little guys are detritivores, which is a big word for waste eating organism. They eat anything dead and rotting, and also feed on growing algae and pretty much anything else that they can get their hands on, but they prefer the dead stuff first.
Without these guys there would be heaps and heaps of solid fish and aquatic animal waste floating around.
