Rolled leaf worm?
Hi All,
I have a reasonably new 22G tank with a range of dense planting. I have Ammano Shrimp, Ottos and Hikari Danios, all well and happy. I also have a small plague of pond snails despite sterilising plants... it happens. I had recently noticed holes in leaves, particularly a large Echinodorus and suspected the snails; however I now think I have found the culprits.
I have two small tubes of rolled leaf about an inch long and 1/8th inch wide with a wriggling creature inside.
Each has attached itself to a leaf and is eating holes in them rapidly. They are moving about under their own steam. I want to know what they are and what they turn into before I destroy them, anyone any ideas? A google search has turned up nothing.
