mystery creature

[trigshrimp]

Hi all,

I have had the odd death in my CRS tank over the past few weeks, seems to coinside to when I add a indian almond leaf for some reason, so I soke them beforehand know. However had 1 CRS bite the dust overnight and found this creature in my tank:

Tried to grab it with tongs but it was to quick. Thinking it may be a damsel fly nymph, however not quite the same, any ideas?

net him up and destroy him...!

Siphon it out if you cant get it with tweezers, these little buggers kill a few fish fry as well! Another pest we don't need!

I have one of these -

and it does this -

It deals with aquatic pests very very well!

(ok ok yes I'm a pyromaniac...)

Yes is 100% damsel fly nymph. Kill the bas*%€d Honcho is right, there might be another 1 or more. So keep your eye out. Last time i had them in my tank, i found 3.

Thanks guys, even the extreme methods are appreciated, bloody smoke alarm keeps going off though! Main problem is I can't locate the bugger, will probaly have to pull everything out tomorrow and have another go.

Update. Happy to report Nymph caught and disposed of in a humane manner.

If there is more Tiger, look on the surface as they have to come up to breath

Just an update, lost a couple more CRS and low and behold there were at least 2 more nasties in the tank. Hopefully all out now and happier days ahead. Disposal of these too was not as humane as the first.
