last time keep fish like tetra and friends in tank...no found pest like dragonfly nymph..or pest snails... recently into shrimps. keep CRS and moss......found few of them in my DW....kill 2....later CRS die on my own hands....dose too much GH....
change to new tank. cycle 1month plus plus....change to otto and sakura to fight algae becos low tech plant.... now find 6 of them at night...sianz...kill 4 white, 1 green one...1 small one get away...saw one living happily under my mess with 2 red sakura...good neighbours haha...no wonder i never see any shrimps swimming around...
the big question now....why everytime i keep shrimps sure got these jokers around....if i rear bettas and tetra....i never get any problem...

Usually if u are keeping fish, it might be snack for your fishes, however shrimp do not eat them, hence it is quite common that shrimp keeper will see this in thier tank.

haha those fish who snack on them will prefer shrimps better...i heard even betta also kana makan, is it true.my friend aro like them very much.have to monitor on nymph for a while...they quite stupid actually...like to rest on my fissiden moss at night( can see 2 tail very clear at night , with light off)....and my mosss all facing in front...so my small net go down...they readily cling to my net and most possible a quick death....lol
Well.. Before you introduce plants into your tank quarantine them before you add in your tank?
Mad about shrimps!

I learn from all my 1ft and 2ft tank BIG lesson.......
nymph appear in both tank from plants i got from lfs.
Also note this they can survive in wide range of water.
i tested them in container some 1 mth, some in 1 week old. all sort of container with different liquid most of them still survive.
Unless there is some chemical in the water that prevent their gills at the 3 spiky tail to function if not they will grow.
Yup.. If you find one in there i suggest you tear down your tank. Better than losing all ur shrimps..

how u pro quartine plants? i think i going to fish out all my shrimps...then i put my friend arowana (small one) in to settle anything in there...maybe thinking buy 1 puffer to kill snail....but scare end up aro dinner....
I give up getting from lfs just check on forum market for other ppl to sell and add in bit by bit. I try to get from trusted bros whom are selling moss etc.
i think some of my plants from pasir ris farmway....should be them ba.. but most of them died liao.left only wisteria...but the pest really took more than 2months to appear if that the case....maybe fresh shrimp meat cum no predator force them to come out of their hiding place...like that must place some fish in lor...sorry shrimps...move housing in place...
i more into plants actually. place some algae eater to keep everything in touch for my cardinal tetra...but will nymph attack them ? i also thinking my favourite red betta can fight the war after my friend aro went in just stay for a month until he get a new tank....
Sometimes the plants may have their eggs which you cannot spot them easily

lol catch 2 last night....like that night shift very shiong...
It come with more them 10 just ply your eye wide wide and catch if not them u will have to start disturb all your soil.
What i did is pull the plants out 1 by 1 shake and dump in and out of water a few time to let them swim out. Than i siphon them.......... If you have DW or Bogwood the only way is to remove whatever u have tied on it. Than dry them up cause they will hide in the cracks. If you have Moss ball i can't suggest what to do cause i soak my half inside water for 1 mth + and thought it was safe once i put it back in tank..... They bugger came out looking for liao.
ya.i got a few rooted plants...this is really shit now...moss easily to clear and those pest love to stay in moss and underneath..don know why...yesterday and today , quite clear...shrimp running around at night .....no more arowana to fight this war...
u guys think if put betta can win the war? my last relsove will be shift plants ...sianz...i read internet nymph can stay 3 years or more in water...they turn dragonfly or mayfly in air...not very long life...
yea i read of it also well i just want to test out so i left them in contrainer to see. Maybe oneday i will just let them go in the drain or in the pond nearby. Not their fault that we didn't check properly so i guess i just want to see how long can they live before turning adult and fly off.
i just caught 2 just now...total : 10 in captive...
these 2 quite big areadly. they smell my little baby shrimp coming out so they also out for supper...too bad my net is faster and save the cute shrimp life ....very small size...
found 2 more yesterday night shift.....these 2 quite big areadly..1 hiding in the moss with 1 dead shrimp...shit killer on the prowl...another 1 i open my super peat cover as i put in my tank..and it went and rest in the bag...slay easily...i found out shrimps , otto like to go in my peat bag...dont know why.
any advice on quarantine the plants from experts bros here?
i heard dip in salt water may help, or dip in soda water.
Soda water i don't know but salt water i have try unless u are really going to pour 1 hold bag to soak your plant. Also not sure what effect will they have on the plants.
I've try before putting them in salt water and they survive basically i just add sea salt in everyday until i lost count. It did the job to kill the nymph maybe it cut off the oxygen in the water or whatever not sure but it was like almost 30 days of contiunous of adding salt everyday i got home from work. 1 tablespoon of sea aquarium salt.
so bro u say u add seasalt to your tank ?our house cooking salt can...like that really mus shift every live stock out...and cycle again...i never in my life slay so many nymph before...total : 12....now very sad...
