macmilan;4378184; said:i agree with manlyfish, surprised its lasted long enough for you to come across it, if they dont eat it and it actualy matures and leaves the water theyl probly see it as better prey when it trys to fly and hits the water again. i think it can scavenge on the meaty left overs. WIERD AND WONDERFUL random one

WTF? Aquatic insect in bichir tank?!`
Guys I just woke up and saw this awesome looking little guy crawling around the floor of my tank. I do weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) water changes and I know the tank is pretty clean even with the bichir's large bioload.
WHAT IS THIS??? IS he bad?? He looks AWESOME but I don't want him to be a parasite. Any idea?! I've NEVER heard of a random insect just growing inside of a tank. No new plants or fish for a while now, how did he get in????
