I lost a lot of endlers in a planted tank by the window. At first I thought it must be some sort of disease killing the endlers off but no matter what I tried nothing seemed to stop the deaths. Then I found the culprits - these dragonfly nymphs!

not sure what nymph it is .. may be not dragonfly nymph as they have big eyes like actual dragonfly... I once had them in my tank after introducing new plants and rocks .. no way to chase them out.. but to catch once in sight..
i normally see them i shred them apart because the will kill my shrimp . Bro do a detail search in your tank got one means got a few more . good luck
whao this bug sounds vicious! how did you spot it? swimming around? this has made me scared of my tank now =P
Bingo man ... you guys are right ... after i found one ... then two ... now THREE .... But by the time i found the third one , one of them had matured and changed into ............. not dragonfly but some kind of hornet or wasp kind ... didnt manage to get any pictures ... wasted .... Still left with 2 more , so hopefully i could grab a pictures and show you guys ... wahahahaah ....
When they are hidden , its hard to spot them but sometimes they do come out to look to food and i will spot them somewhere on the open space of my tank .... and i will instanly get them out ...
I guess they are from the Ferns on wood i got from farm ... thets the main thing getting cheaper plants there and being lazy to clean them cleanly .... WAHahahahaha ....

if it's easier - you might want to consider taking out your fauna into a different tank and restart the existing one to ensure that you totally wipe out the pest.
