Hi first of all thank you for all the excellent advice given on this board i am new to this hobby and could have made a lot of mistakes had i not found this place first.
I now need a little help while cleaning my gravel and doing a water change my wife pointed out that i have an insect in the tank on closer inspection (ie the 2 seconds i could see it before it disappeared into the gravel) it looked like a small clear woodlouse about 3mm long with longer legs ( I wish i could get a better look at it but thats all i got) . About 3 weeks ago i did feed with baby brine shrimp could it be one of those that survived? or something else? and is it safe to keep in the tank or should i try to be rid of it.

many thanks for any help

Quite simply I cant think of anything beneficial it could be so id just chuck it :) if your ever unsure, bin first and ask questions later, just incase.
