something strange

tanysderek · 14-07-2009, 12:45 PM

I just noticed in my 2 months old crs and cherry tank 3 small tadpole like looking creature with black eyes transparent body colour. they seem to stick to the glass of my tank. don't look like shrimplets as don't have legs. Wondering if it could be babies from the 2 ottos in my tank? Sorry can't take pictures as don't have a good camera. Any ideas? thanks

if they're damselfly nymphs, then they could prey on your shrimps. however, since you say that you don't see any legs, i doubt that they are. a picture would really help in trying to determine if they're harmful... and as bro ahloy has mentioned, take them out just to be sure..
