Thanks guys.
As for the bloodworm, well, I feel sorry for it, its got no food source apart from the 'pods that are in the tank....... (I'm a total nutjob and feel the need to offer it some kind of food
).

hi, i don't think it is a damselfly larva because they have 3 spines on their tails.

It does have three spines on its tail, just can't see them on the photo - my camera just isn't up to it!
But as for the size, if damselfly larvae are larger, well, this must be a mayfly larvae?
I'm not feeding the tank at the mo, it only has plants in it...... Are you sure it will find food?

if it has 3 spines then it is probably a young damselfly larva as i don't think any of the others have 3 spines.

Thanks again for replies
I'm going to get some sort of food for the poor thing, have been reading up about them and I feel it only fair to supplement it some way, then hope to be around when it does emerge from the water to try and save it for release at my local dew pond. (Now even I think I sound like a complete and utter nutter, but it never asked to be in my tank
)
Any suggestions on food? Perhaps daphnia?
