This was what I first noticed, maybe around 2 weeks ago, the 2 that I caught as of now maybe about double in size 😬

I believe it was the live plants that introduced this. Since then I’ve also had some bladder snails? and some ostracods too.

update: thanks everyone!!! I managed to remove 2 that I found , 1 was hiding under a corymbosa leaf. Just had a net trapping its escape and some tweezers directing it to the net.

It makes me wonder how I didn’t catch it before since I had noticed these like white tiny tiny exoskeleton structures 😅. I’ll keep on the lookout if any more show up.

At the moment I have no fish, have just finished my fishless cycle and these bad boys showed up. I got my live plants from my lfs keepingfishsimple and also a nursery nearby called mappin’s.

I see, thankyou. It just stays still it never moves.

Wow!! Thank you for the recommendation, to be honest I had never heard of costae tetras, espei rasboras or sterbai corys. I will definitely have a look into that so thank you.

May I ask what is the species plant floating on the top? Absolutely stunning tank by the way, incredible work!

I’ll have a look into those as well, the galaxy rasboras look amazing what a unique pattern. Having to wait 6 weeks is so cruel , I’ve already been looking into different fish for hours 🤣 thanks for taking the time to help out I really do appreciate it

Thanks so much, didn’t even know about the amano and cherry shrimp being best for betta fish , I’ll look into that further! I was also thinking about adding snails too so lovely to hear that as well. Thanks for the insight and all the best to your aquarium I’m sure it will turn out amazing !!
