What in the hell is this thing?
And how quickly do I need to kill it?
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8...328_181116.jpg Just got home and found this nasty thing swimming atound in my 10g planted shrimp tank. Its about the size of my adult pumpkin shrimp, maybe a bit longer. Fast.... ugly.... Mosquito larvae? I cant find it now that i have my little net.... Dammit... |
Looks like some kind of Damsel fly or Dragonfly.
|
Almost looks like a mayfly
|
KILL IT WITH FIRE

If i catch this thing.... i will go buy a fire starter just to kill it. |
Damsel fly nymph, dragon fly nymphs are usually more oval through the abdominal area. Those tail like extensions are actually it's gills.
They're aggressive towards smaller fish/fry and will capture them in their pinchers |
I had dragon fly nemphs that turned into dragon flies, pretty cool IMO.
|
They hitchhike on plants. cool looking but i believe they will eat and kill shrimp or possibly tiny fish. I had one in my shrimp tank way back when
|
I keep finding more. Disgusting creepy things.
I am NEVER not bleaching plants again. |
I thought fish ate those things? Feed them to Red ?
