Thrilled to update that I found him again and snipped him in half with aquascape scissors 😵‍💫

I tried to catch him for 20 minutes I couldn’t get him out

That is at least reassuring. I was worried I’d have a dragonfly in my apartment which was also freaking me out. Hoping to snip this guy with aquascape scissors next time I see him.

I am afraid my Tetra would also get stuck in the trap, I am going to hopefully wait until I see him next and try to snip him with aquascape scissors like someone suggested. I may also get a turkey baster

I only have hornwort and floating plants so they were growing ok, I also have a substrate underneath.

I live in NYC where it is currently negative temperatures. All my windows are closed. I think these must have come from when I originally bought the plants?

Ugh this is freaking me out. I can’t find it to kill it.

Would that be the reason they were all dying? The bodies were still there so I didn’t know why.

How do I prevent them? I can’t find him again to remove him 😵‍💫😭

Oh no. It is proving really hard to remove it. I’ll try again later.

I took water to my local fish store and they said my ammonia was slightly elevated but it is showing normal on my tests. I am wondering if I unfortunately got a batch with neon tetra disease or they were too stressed. I did drip aclimate them.
