Hello,
I was cleaning my freshwater tank today and noticed this little dude swimming around, pretty sure it was in the filter media. I looked at the 'bugs' posted at the beginning of this post and it doesn't look like any of those.
2014-03-05 tank critter.jpgIt is small (2mm or 2.5 mm) appears to have a bunch of legs on its underside and sometimes tucks its tail in and swims a bit but it mostly just walks around on the bottom.
I haven't added anything new to my tank in a good 2-3 months or so. And it's very cold winter here, so it's not like it came in from outside!
The picture isn't great. It was the best i could get without a microscopic camera, but perhaps if someone already is familiar they'd be able to recognize it.
Can i put it back into the tank or is its newly discovered life short-lived?
Thanks in advance,
Kat
