I don’t believe this: what the h*** have I got in my tank now? I think they are shrimp but not sure, does any one know? I didn’t say anything b4 now after the last time I made a pratt of my self thinking I had fry and they were dragon fly, REMEMBER that one? Haha. If you look carefully at pic No 1 you can see that the dots seem to be encased in a film covering the shape of them, a bit like a caterpillar shape. eggs think this is dead? but not sure if it is a new one? this looks like a caseing of skin not the best pic but this is the second one

Mralgae didn't you say you bought some shrimp a while back if so i'd say the ''dead'' one has just shed it skin thats all. As for the eggs maybe shrimp eggs

Thats why i keep coming back here, too see what u get up to next. LMAO. It looks like to me u might have the same thing again, dragon fly or damsel fly maybe. Just one thing, Look in your forth picture it looks like there something that looks like a insect sitting on your bogwood maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. If it is an insect, those empty husks could be the insect shedding its skin as it grows. As for the white dots snail eggs maybe? don't know

I also thought at first it was snail eggs but don't most snails lay eggs above the water line? Jp is that not a fish in the 4th pic on the wood? I may also be seeing things
