i found some of those in my tank as well from some water lettuce given to me from a pond. Creepy aren't they!

You ordered from TaDeGe didn't you? How do you like his shrimp?
Pond store in FL, and the bulby plant sound like him.

A few people have mentioned that dragonfly nymphs can bite you; this is nothing to worry about. The nymphs can't hurt you. You can pick them up with your fingers without fear. Adult dragonflies can bite a little harder, but it's still not bad- just surprising!

Yeah, I found three of them in my RCS tank last year.
Dragonfly Nymph, they are one ugly/scary bug.

They also HIDE they well. I thought I got them all removed only to find one more, very large one a month later.

Remove ASAP they will eat your baby shrimp.

Sorry, what is a berry? Do you mean baby shrimp?

 

[Destroyer551]

A berry refers to a female shrimp carrying eggs under the tail.
You can also call them pregnant, but don't mistake the saddle for developing eggs. Those aren't fertilized.

Ok, that's what I thought. I've had quite a few berries then. I also watched one of them give birth one night. That was crazy!
