amphipods shrimps

Are Amphipods Omnivores? Amphipods and isopods are mostly omnivores which feed on benthic organic matter, but they will scavenge and also prey on other animals when possible. Some species feed heavily on plants, including watercress, which is common in the spring habitats favored by some isopods. Are amphipods mobile? Most amphipods are detritivores or scavengers,
