I have this small (5g) growout tank that I keep ready in case I'd need it. It's planted with some java fern and vesicularia dubyana. Temperature is around 75 and the 15W light is on for about 10 hours.
I added a Eichhornia crassipes (''Water hyacinth'') that I had outside (cause it wouldn't survive the winter otherwise). i didn't rinse the plant or anything and added it to the tank.
Immediately, a lot of small creatures came crowling out of the roots of this plant, and I have no idea of what they are.
The one in the picture looks like it, but I'm not sure if it is exactly the same :
I had three guppy fry in there, and after two days, they died (can't find them anywhere). Can these creatures have brought a disease in my tank, or would they eat little fry ?
