Glen Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I have found this guy in my tank not sure what it is and if it’s dangerous to my fish or not. Not sure how it ended up in my tank either. I have seen it previously in there but didn’t manage to snap any pics. It was clear then. Apologies for the algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It looks like Dragonfly larvae, it's harmless to your fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Looks like the Damselfy larvae/nymph I had in my shrimp tank. Danger fry small snails shrimp anything their size and smaller. Live Fish food for larger they lay eggs submerged in a slit in leaves stems of plants roughly 10 days to hatch can live submerged up to 3 years will molt like shrimp Edited August 23, 2021 by Guppysnail 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks I’ve removed it from my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 It’s an inside tank with a lid. I suspect it may have come in with a shrimp or fish shipment as it’s only a fairly new tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
