kiwiraka Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 No visable legs or tails I'm currently culturing some sort of pod, they're yellow round and about one millimetre long at maximum, no visible legs or anything, just yellow blobs.

Godly3vil Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 :cophot: In all seriousness though dude there's that many different things that they could be it would be hard to identify without some form of photos. Do your parents/guardians have a cell phone with a camera you could possibly use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Without knowing what they are it's impossible to know how long they would survive in a tropical. Are you able to take a photo? If you are wondering about tipping the whole lot into a tropical tank to feed the fish long term it's probably not a good idea. Just net a few out and put them in the tank each time and also to check the fish eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
