Whats This Insect Like Thingy?

[swrzzzz]

Its too small to take a pic of but there is something walking across the bottom of my tank that I can't identify.

Its very thin, about 2/3 of an inch long and bright yellowy green. It seems to be standing up and walking on a set of feet at one end while at the upper end there are 3 (i think) feelers its holding upright.

I guess it came in with a plant

Anyone know what it could be and if I should get it out or I can watch to see what it becomes?

Not sure from your description, usual suspects are Damselfly larvae. (if thats the case ...get it out of there) In anycase if your not sure of a foreign critter in your aquarium then net it out.
Can you get a pic.

Thanks - yes I just googled for a pic and thats it spot on!

What should I do? leave it for food, watch it grow, or squish it? I am not sure I have any fish which would try to eat it

(Gouramis, Corys, Danios and Gobys)

They are predators and may attack small fish, so get it out of there.
