Fluke like thing!
I just planted a tank and a week later I noticed a fluke like thing, brown,
that was " inch worming" it's way across the glass. Is this
going to hurt my guppies, or will they eat it.? Nasty thing. Thanks,
I worried. Judy
<Hi Judy. I doubt this creature will be harmful to your Guppies. If
it were a Fluke you would find it attached to your fish. If they can
fit it in their mouth, and it tastes ok, chances are they will eat it. Keep
a check on water quality, do not over feed and everything should be fine. If
you can get a picture of this creature feel free to send it along. Best
Regards, Gage>
Oh no! Odonata!
Hi Bob sorry the pics didn't come through, they are regular .jpg
files.
<See them now.>
Anyways will try again using this email. You may not be
able to reply
since we just made some changes to our email server last night. If
possible
reply to the other address if this one does not work. One
of the pics is
of my gravel, I want your opinion on it for plant growing, I am thinking
of
mixing some peat and sand for a 1" layer then a 2" layer above
it using this
existing gravel (UG plate under it atm). 2 Maxi Jet 1000
power heads in
the tank along with a magnum 350. I am looking forward to
ditching the UG
plates and power heads and adding an Eheim canister to go with the magnum.
<A good idea. At least what I would do. What you have is an odonatan
larva... a dragonfly early life stage... a ravenous feeder on fishes,
tadpoles, other organisms... I would trap, otherwise catch it out and
remove it. Bob Fenner> |
