So I was looking at my tank today and saw something move. Sounds normal except for the fact that I have not added anything but rock sand and water. I can't get a pic because what it is, is tiny, no more than 1/8 " less that that i would say, not much bigger than 3 grains of sand in a row. It is longer than it is wide and seems almost transparent except for a darker colored strip a few mils wide in the middle of its body. I could'nt get a great look at it due to the size, but it looks like a beetle i guess? I have seen 3 at once out and about on the rocks near what I would presume has become a den of sorts, they come and go from there.
