That’s what I was thinking, but didn’t know it could survive outside.

Highly doubt your Grangpa keeps tons of it in the house.

Not the house - outside in his pond.

One of the many nice animals that visit the ponds. Also, Gymnogeophagus Terrapurpurra arrived. They are on a separate thread until they Make it to the patio ponds. What kind of dragonfly is it? It’s so pretty! It sits on a stick right next to the patio pond.

Crystal clear after the rain. Can’t see it on camera, but it is super clear.

Been removing tons of this stuff. Not sure what it is, but I honestly don’t care. It’s just some algae

Found this and took it out to investigate. Is it a dragon fly nymph?

I also see fry, and I’m wondering if they are flagfish or rosy’s

Dragonfly/damselfly nymphs usually have a longer abdomen. They swim like a catfish.

 

[The Masked Shadow]

What could it be then?

 

[Deadeye]

Actually, I think you’re right. That is a dragonfly. I was thinking of just damselflies. The tail is actually how you would tel the difference.
