Bizzare

[annabel_roo]

Not really a question, just something I thought was really odd. I woke up this morning and when I looked at my fish tank there was a wasp floating on the top! Anyone else woke up and found odd things floating in their tank?

Not really other than the odd fish that didn't make it through the night / plant waste.

I suppose the most surprising thing I found was going away for a week and finding that my Amazon Frogbit had mutliplied to cover around 50% of the surface area.

Are you sure it was an actual wasp - did your tank have a lid ?

 

[annabel_roo]

yeah definetly a wasp, it had been in my room the night before but I couldnt find it to get rid of it before I went to bed. I have a Jewel tank and they have a little gap at the back of the lid which is I guess is where the wasp got in!

What's Amazon Frogbit like - is it good for the tank?

A wasp here in Nottingham? Jeez, it must have been trying to escape all the rain!

Weirdest thing I've ever found floating in the tank is just bits of plant

One time I noticed the water in one of my betta tanks was really foggy, so I went to clean it and there was a nasty dead June bug (type of beetle) at the bottom

I've found a lady bug, but thats about it. And seeing my bathroom and side of my house is a breeding ground for those terrible little creaters, its not very surprising...

I've found a June Bug in one tank, a lip stick tube (thankfully sealed), hair clippings (girlfriend's mom trimmed her hair over the tank where there is a mirror hanging above it ) and underneath one filter, a cricket and dozens of eggs presumably laid by said cricket.

There was a dead cockroach in my empty betta tank. I had to clean it, sure was disgusting

lol yeah I know! You'd think at least when the rain starts they'd disappear! Also gross to all those things people found in their tanks, glad mine was only a wasp. Can't stand cockroaches!!.

If a fish ate a wasp, could it get stung? Would the sting kill it? Would the fish's mucus covered skin save it?

Answers on a postcard.

The skin wouldn't be much protection if the fish swallowed the wasp...

 

[orientmatt]

Surely it wouldn't make any difference at all as wasps and other such insect type things are probably what all fish eat in the wild anyway e.g.flies etc..(I would have thought)
