I have just done a water change in by big axie tank, and I have come across not just 1 but 2 species of invaders!
Pond snails - not unusual, the eggs usually hitch a ride in on plants. Easy enough to get rid of, and they make a reasonable axie snack while still small (my axies are 8"+ and can easily handle a 1/4" smail) and we've had a few before.
But I also found about a dozen damsel fly nymphs! How the **** did they get in there?! I certainly haven't had any damsel flies in my living room!
I haven't had any new plants in there for months, so they must have come in with the river shrimp. (Which means I must speak to my LFS about it)
So my question is will they have done any harm to my tank or my axies if they have managed to chomp on a few? I'm guessing not....
