Hmm, 2 weeks into setting up a new tank, plants are growing nice & it all looks stable. No fish yet, want to give the plants a head start
Bought a few plants from Maidenhead Aqatics in Nottingham about 10 days ago.
Since then, a few snails have appeared - no big surprise there.
Today I looked in the top of the tank - a 100cm Juwel with original hood - &, there was what looked like a fly swimming in the water. My first thought was, Water Boatman? But it doesn't look like any I can find on a Google search. It's about 1cm long, "swims" on the surface, it has a red end to it's tail - when it "swims" its main body curves up in quite a menacing manor & appears to have very slim wings. I tried to catch, but it's disopeared. Ideas? Should I be concerned?
