I set up a dirted tank about a week ago with soil from my (organic) yard and sand from the stream, plus some fallen branches. I soaked and rinsed the soil a few times and soaked the branches in saltwater for a couple days and stripped the bark. Still, plenty of opportunity for tiny critters to be imported.
Yesterday, I noticed a tiny bladder snail on the glass. Today, I went to change the filter pad and saw this guy. He's thin, a couple inches long, and has antenna and lots of legs. He's shy-- kept hiding in folds of the filter anytime I'd try to expose him for a picture. Seems at home in the water. Any ideas what he is and if he's likely to be a problem? It's just plants so far, but I plan to add fish.
One picture shows antenna and legs, and the other shows legs.
Thanks!
