I literally lol'd at that! It appears the mystery has been solved and this is likely a caddisfly larvae.

Thanks! I though maybe snail, but it looked a little caterpillary inside and has the weird antenna/ant leg lookin' things

I have a visitor that I cannot figure out -- found it at the bottom of a sand substrate fw tank. It looks like it might be a larve of something but in a straight, conelike, translucent tube that looks just like a piece of plant stem. It will will wriggle (like spinning or vibrating) and will...

Thank you. Correct on the numbers mix up, and I do the water changes weekly like clockwork so no problems shocking the fish. And no stringy poop, none of them ever had it. Also no other external signs of parasites on the fish, in gravel, or free swimming. I did a deep vacuuming of the gravel...

#4 - where the ship looks like it sank in a ravine, is my favorite

Longtime lurker, first time post. Thanks all for contributing to these threads, which have been hugely useful and informative. I've gotten to a point in the cycle where things are changing quickly, but some unexpected developments have cropped up. Looking for help on these specific issues, and...
