N1CK Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 It's been in with the goldfish babies, so if it is a dragonfly larvae im guessing its the cause of the smaller ones dissapearing.......... it also swims like a tadpole and is only about 2-2.5cm long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Damselfly larvae. Really cute when they swim. (Damsel flies are the ones that rest with their wings pointing folded up, dragonflies rest with hem flat and open) Dragonfly larvae are REALLY chunky.

Like little tadpoles?? lol, sounds like you want it , or else the big goldfish can have it..... the red ones are damselflys right?, because I remember seeing two of them mating some time at the begging of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Apparently they are voracious hunters and eat small fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw something making a big wake in my pond a few times, I couldn't figure out what sea monster I had in my pond making wakes when the biggest thing in it were snails. Eventually got lucky and caught one of the dragon fly larvae. Big monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1CK Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Gah my mum just found another one in there with them :evil: , this ones smaller though only about 2cm.... Do you reckon a fully grown grumpy fighter would be able to eat it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
