Hi mate, was cleaning out of my nano tanks today and this little bugger appeared. It was swimming in an undulating pattern like a snake and then sat on a moss ball. Have you got any idea what it is?

Tank is a subtropical with WCMM, Amano's and pouch snails.

 

I've asked PFK but not had a reply yet.

 

Cheers

Steams

 

PS. Sorry about the blurry photo was the best I could get at the angle it was.

 

the grey thing centrally...? looks like a nymph maybe damselfly.

Or something of that ilk, very hard to tell from that pic though sorry.

Spot on mate! I've had a look and it's identical to a damselfly nymph. Was thinking dragonfly at first but dismissed it straight away as I couldn't work out how one of them got in there. Must have come in on a plant even though I'd quarantined it for 48 hours.

 

Best get it out of there then.

 

Thanks for that mate, very helpful :thumbup1:
