I was looking at my 75g planted today and I saw this strange creature sitting on a leaf. At first I thought it was one of my amano shrimps because it was all clear, but on closer inspection I realized that it definitely wasn't a shrimp. I googled aquatic insects and found a pic that looks a lot like the bug that's in my tank:
I tried to use my fish net to get it out but the thing runs/swims really fast and ends up hiding in the thick plant growth. Should I be worried at all? Could this insect do any harm to my fish or shrimps?
