So, in the aftermath of the December examination period, I decided to do a bit of housekeeping in my tank.

I found a couple of interesting things:

I had a developed a local population of cyclops copepods. At least, I recognized the twin egg sacs the female carries.

I had developed a local population of what I think are mayfly larvae. tiny green, winged flies sometimes emerge every few days in a massive swarm. I believe they spawn tiny, tubificid-like larvae.


I'm not really worried about them at the moment; my neon tetras love to chow down on the larvae, and it seems to have no real effect on the tank, other than a bit of a cosmetic one. In any case, I was wondering if anyone else noticed anything like this happening in their tanks.

With my experience with shrimp the make great pets. But alot of fish love to eat them.

That's why I'm sticking to the tetras.
