Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Pk shrimp larva

Twar, of those last few pictures the first and second one are a type of a fly that love to eat shrimp. I some how got one into my planted aquarium tank with my red cherry shrimp and it keeps making snacks of our shrimp.

I know it is in my tank still because I have a new shed from it in there this week. I do not know how long it takes to turn into the fly but it is making short work of my shrimp.

The first few pictures are of scuds for sure. We have a few of them too but I do not let them into our planted tank. They will be in there for ever and are like flees when you get them very hard to get rid of.

Cheers Don.
