    They're zipping about in the tank? If yes, you probably have an ostracod or what we usually refer to as seed shrimp.

    Fish like to eat these.

    Um.. actorial's tank is a shrimp tank. Adding any random fish can be disastrous for the shrimp/shrimplets. A young guppy or small rasbora is sufficient.

    You do not want tetras with shrimps, especially shrimplets.

    actorial, tiny species like the Boraras, will remain small. Or you can try Clown Killies, since they do not go after baby shrimp from what I recall.
