Plants and bugs

[Krib]

They dont seem to like water. Here is another pic of the animals. Can you tell me if there might be two bugs living on the plants.

Ahhh... that looks a lot different than the first photo- much clearer.

So they're not actually below the water line- they're ABOVE the water line? That explains why fish arn't eating them... it's probably more of a general terrestrial plant pest than an aquatic one- probably just a coincidence it's in your aquarium.

Definately looks like an insect of some kind. If I'm seeing wings not shadows- that looks like a fly of some kind.

You might get more help from a gardening forum- they're probably more familiar with them.

Looks like a cricket to me.

I got the same bugs, i believe they are aphids and mites.The only way to get rid of them is by manual removal.Funny, the only thing thats eats them are lady bugs and i have a couple that have been sticking around

Very interesting to see bugs in an aquarium. I would love to know how this all turns out.

Yep. Aphids.
