dragonfly larvae

Postby beeshrimpnerd (73) » Mon Nov 12, 2012 8:29 pm

yesterday i found 2 dragonflies that came to my dealer from denmark in my tank. there are lots of tiny shrimplets in tthe tank, i removed one but the others still hiding. I've noticed a sharp decline in population. How do i catch them?
I saw a green sea turtle in Maui, Hawaii. It was the coolest of my life.Though its illegal, I came very close to one. But it was the turtle that approached me. Unfortunately, they're in danger. Why don't we all conserve?

Any way you can. They are nasty predatory little buggers those Larvae. I lost a batch of Guppies to them myself one year during an outside breeding project.

+1...get it out soon, or you'll be sans any shrimplets, before you know it.

I've tried finding it but failed, last shrimp count 3 shrimplets! I plan on removing the survivors

Removing the food might be the end of the Dragonfly Larvae. Good move.
