strange animal in the fish tank?
I have three mollies, one laminar, and two catfish in my freshwater aquarium. I use purified water when cleaning their tanks, and decorations include some real coral and shells, but I think all that is false or the ocean. Today I noticed a handful of beans in the form of tiny animals at the bottom of the tank, and from my mollies and laminated to have had babies that none of these things seem to beans, I thought it was baby catfish. Looking further closely, the animals are clear, with what looks like a bean-shaped shell, and move around using your legs to one side of its shell. I tried to take a picture but my camera I could not concentrate enough, so I will say that they are about a millimeter long, and I can see their bodies through their bodies and shells. They look like the type of clams, but I doubt that there are clams in my tank as it would have to come from a clam parents who have never had, What the hell are these things and going to harm my fish?
This will not harm the fish – is more likely a description of ostracods – see photo: http://www.eeob.iastate.edu/faculty/DrewesC/htdocs/ostracod-C.JPG Here is one with a clear layer: ostracoda.jpg http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/micropolitan/fresh/arthropod/ If not, follow this link to see other possibilities http://www.microscopy- uk.org.uk / index.html? http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/pond/index.html
