rjg Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hey Everybody, I have 2 things that are a mystery that live in my tank. The first one I have no picture of, it is a small reddish brown creature that crawls around my rock. It is about 1/8" in length and moves pretty quick. The second one, I have a picture of. It is a red growth on my rock and it appears to have "hair" growing out of it. Thank in advance for the help! -Robert Link to comment
NOFX1207 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Does it look kind of like a millipede? Link to comment
rjg Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 It is tiny tiny, I can't tell.... -Robert Link to comment
caja Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Please elaborate on the description of the reddish brown creature that crawls around on your LR. Size, behaviour, etc. The above pic I have no clue. I have some on my LR. Doesn't grow or move or hurt anything so I figure it's all good. Some things remain a mystery. Link to comment
rjg Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 caja, It is about an 1/8" of an inch in length, seems to stay in the shadows on the rock, there are about 3 or 4 of them in the same area. When they move they are fast for their size. Sorry that I don't have more details, I can't see much since it is so small. It is about the size of a flea... ??? -Robert Link to comment
caja Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 More than likey they are amphipods, a good thing. Link to comment

Chick8198 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The second thing is a foraminiferans (one-celled protazoa with an exoskeleton), I have one just like it (except the size of a gumball) in my tank. Link to comment
