I have a few large plastic tubs in my garden that I use for breeding daphnia and for holding spare plants from my pond till I can give them away. I decided to try keeping Cherry shrimp in one of them. It has some small water lilies that I cut from my main one.
Yesterday while I was watching the shrimp I saw this eel like creature swimming along the bottom. It was about the size and shape of a medium size kuhli loach and was a light brown colour. I was going out so didn't have time to catch it. Today I went out to look for it but there are lots of hiding places and I saw no sign of it. There have never been fish in these tubs so I have no idea what it is or how it got there. Any ideas?
