waterlogged Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 ok so i looked in my net breeder today that i keep my month week old gbas in and a few shrimp and found what looks like a swarm or fish fry. they are 1mm and black from what i can see just sticking to the surface. they look alot like tadpols. the only fish i have in my tank that they might be would be flying fox or dwarf gourami but i don't think either are possible for the community i have. So i have i have 2 theories. 1) they came in as eggs on the xmas moss i have just got off the forum or 2)they are shrimp or insect larvay. i don't know anything about the shrimp but i did have an egg laden female in there a week ago. i leave my windows open 24/7 and the tank gets up to 27C at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions as to what they may be it'd be a big help, i'm too impatiant to wait and see :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 When you poke them do they wiggle and move downwards? Sounds like it could be mosquito larvae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 The shrimp will hatch and look like a swarm/cloud of tiny tiny almost insect like things. When I first found them it took me a while to figure out what they actually were. If they are in with fishies they wont last long :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlogged Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 they're kind of swarming on the top and in the net. they didn't look like mozzies to me. and we have just had the house sprayed. but they do wriggle like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 They didn't come with the moss I sent you because my fish haven't been spawning and the only thing in the moss were a few tiny snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
