I have recently set up a tank for shrimp...my first ever!
I thought I had everything sorted until I started finding dead shrimp, or what was left of them, on a daily basis.
In a panic I replaced the filter, did a water change, removed plants, tested the water yet still they continued to die. I lost 90% of my shrimp.
Then I found this little bugger.
A very fat and happy damselfly larvae......I can only assume it came in with some daphnia i bought as a treat for the shrimp :?
It has now been evicted to a local pond.
Is this a common problem with livefood or was I just unlucky?
