Tiny white specs, trying to get image, they are very active. I have them in my shrimp tank, I assume fish eat them. 30-50 of them which I can see. Active small and a lot tiny white specs. Anyone got ideas on what they are? chromedome52?

Probably Copepods of some sort. Totally harmless.

Are they on the glass/substrate, or swimming around in the tank?

I'll let someone more expert answer fully.. I see on a few of them what look like antennae type things at the top (two) and almost a tail.. reminds me of cyclops pics I've seen. Cyclops as Freshwater Aquarium Food (thesprucepets.com)

Just copepods. Good fish food.
