    There are 3 unknown shrimp death yesterday and today. I observed and found a Dragonfly nymph in the tank. Luckily manage to take it out...but worry that there are more in the tank...

    Anyone knows whether the dragonfly lays how many eggs ?

    I just hope it come from a plant, so it only has one. But the thing is, i only found 1 or 2 dead. so if there are more of these bugs then the dead shrimp should be more right ?

    I am staying at 7th floor, can dragonfly fly so high ?

    Used to encounter it before, that's why i practise a habit to give the newly bought plants a throughout wash before introuducing to the tank. Prevent of snails too.
    It's good that you had it removed, mostly comes from the plant, keep a lookout, there could be more.

    Can try shift away your shrimps/fishes meantime, if you have a spare tank available.

    hi, richie. you last encounter with it, it came with plant ? and more than 1 dragonfly nym?
    anyway, i think my only one, last night till now, no mysterious death.

    actually i did wash my plant, but my guess is it was still very small and totally unnoticable when i added the plant (the last plant, i added was 2, 3 weeks ago and only recently it grew to 14mm long to be able to attack the adult shrimp). I also confirm it came with plant and not a dragonfly flew in to laid eggs, because dragonfly cant fly beyond 2, 3 storey.

    will monitor closely..
