JDT360 Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 What is this? A problem I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDT360 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 From googling maybe damselfly larvae? I noticed it when I saw my biggest/best 24k flying around the tank like crazy. I also recently had numbers drop and had hoped they were hiding... probably got hunted super bummed advice? oem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I believe you are correct. It looks like either a damselfly or dragonfly nymph. This is not a good thing for your shrimp. I would get it out asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddd_sss Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I found 1 scud in my tank today, netted the bugger out. Basically anything that doesn't look like it should be in a shrimp tank, GET IT OUT! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shrimp gods must hate me. just when I thought I was doing really good... might have killed the hobby for me along with a fair amount of nice shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 it happens and your shrimp colony will bounce back. dont let it run you away from the hobby. oem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oem Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Probably come in on some plant material acquired in the last several months as a lot of commercial plants are grown outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
