Hi,

I found a dragonfly larvae in my tank shortly after my female gourami developed a small sore, I removed it and now my male dwarf Gourami has two 'sores' on him. I'm convinced there are more in my tank eating my fish.

I'm pretty sure the insects hitched a lift on my plants, i'll be washing them in a solution whenever I get new ones from now on!

I've looked through the forum and can see they are quite a common pest but I can't seem to find any suggections on a way in which these insects can be permanently removed from the tank.

Should I do a complete strip down and replace my gravel and filter pads? or is there some sort of nsecticide I can use?

Thanks.
