What Are These Things!

[gearyboy]

recently had fry but ive found in my tank 2 very small creatures in my tank. my other half says they look like brine shrimp. they have 2 small eyes and a thin tail. they are about 3mm long and very very thin (unmeasureable). Any ideas what they are? Are they bad? How do I get rid if they are bad?

Any chance of posting a pic?

Are they a pale pink colour... and do they swim in 'circles'... could be Sea Monkeys (Brine Shrimp)... if they are, I'm surprised you even saw them as fish love them... they last about 20 secs in my tanks...

Fish in the tank are Z.danios, mollies, pepper catfish. ansistrus and guppys, ive tried taking a pic but there too small. Not pink in colour they are black! I have seen them swimming about but spend most of there time on the glass

Hi, I had baby zebra danios a couple of weeks back (well actually my fish did ), and when newly hatched they were like see-through sticks with 2 black eyes, so I think that's probably what they are.

is it true sea monkeys are brine shrimp, i had some once and thought they were just some little river creatures or something.

They're not brine shrimp. Wrong colour and brine shrimp wont survive long in fresh water.

You must have fry from some of the other fish in the tank!
