What in the hell is this thing?
 

And how quickly do I need to kill it?

Just got home and found this nasty thing swimming atound in my 10g planted shrimp tank.
Its about the size of my adult pumpkin shrimp, maybe a bit longer. Fast.... ugly....
Mosquito larvae?
I cant find it now that i have my little net....
Dammit...

Looks like some kind of Damsel fly or Dragonfly.

Almost looks like a mayfly

KILL IT WITH FIRE

I don't even own a lighter....
If i catch this thing.... i will go buy a fire starter just to kill it.

Damsel fly nymph, dragon fly nymphs are usually more oval through the abdominal area. Those tail like extensions are actually it's gills.
They're aggressive towards smaller fish/fry and will capture them in their pinchers

I had dragon fly nemphs that turned into dragon flies, pretty cool IMO.

They hitchhike on plants. cool looking but i believe they will eat and kill shrimp or possibly tiny fish. I had one in my shrimp tank way back when

I keep finding more. Disgusting creepy things.
I am NEVER not bleaching plants again.

I thought fish ate those things? Feed them to Red ?
