I am balding but i am still young!
It's damselfly nymph. Will kill your shrimps. Better remove it!
Yikes... removed... It came with the new batch of green shrimps I bought with. How are they even born?

Damsel fly lays their egg on the water surface like mosquitoes, after laying eggs, they die. Nymph of dragonfly or Damselfly can devour your shrimplets, sometimes even adult shrimps
Always there to help even if i can't i'll try my best to
Wah... .. That's scary... do fishes eat them the damsefly?

Not sure, smaller fishes like tetra or boraras do get eaten by the nymph

Unless you are keeping bigger fish else most likely they wont touch it. Best way is to see one remove one and likely if you saw one there could be two to three still hiding somewhere.
Ok wat I did was wait till it cling on plant n filter and just remove.. Mosquito fishes don't eat them? I'm confuse

The nymphs are very good at hiding. Unless your tank is totally empty of plants else likely your fish wont even notice them.
I was keeping Harlequin rasbora in the tank when I got dragon fly nymphs, they didn't even touch/notice them. Furthermore these guys are not your average feeder like bloodworm and mosquito larva they are quite agile.
So safest is manually check and manual remove rather then take risk and depend on fish to eat, some more you are depend on a 7cm fish.
Hummm .... Well if manually check won't that be like every 7 day's????
