    Hi,
    I know a lot of people here probably despise dragonfly nymph. If you see one in your aquarium and want to get rid of it, can you SMS me at 94591691? I would love to have it for a project I'm doing. Thanks.

    Re: Anybody has dragonfly nymph??

    Bro what do you want it for? i kept them before but they will not stay a nymph forever.
    I lured them in, left a small tank with some mud outside the window and few weeks later i saw something moving in the mud.

    Its kind of rare but i've encountered it 2 times even when i live on the upper levels.

    I want to show them to girls when they turn from nymph to dragonfly. If you have any, please let me know.

    Yup you can easily get them. Just make a tank with some moss and floating plants. Leave it in the open and usually you'll get a nymph sooner or later... especially if the tank has fishes.

    I haven't seen a single dragonfly near my block but I could try. On second thought, I'll probably get lots of mosquitoes too. Darn!

    Hi I have acess to a pond with lots of dragonfly nymph, will pm you when I get one, hopefully a large one, or you will have a looong wait before it metamorphosize.

    Thanks Shaihulud, do give me a PM or an SMS to my number on the first post.

    Felix, yeah, I know having a fish tank outside would solve mosquitoes problems but then what will I do with the fishes once I've got my nymph? Fish keeping is a long term thing, I can't just set up a tank and buy some fish just to catch a nymph.

    Re: Anybody has dragonfly nymph??

    Well all you need is a tank, with some guppies. Almost always end up with at least ONE nymph sooner or later. By the way, the floor on which you live is not important. My friend lives on the 24th floor and he always finds dragonfly nymphs, when he least expects it.

    A tank with plants that have aerial leaves or stems jutting out of the water usually attracts the female to lay her eggs. You can make do with a stick of bamboo or something close.
