Does anyone know what this is? Is it just a bug that fell in the tank?

I found this colorful little guy in my 29g metaframe. I just want to know whether I should be worried or not.

It probably fell in your tank. Do you have a lid on your tank?.

It's just a small beatle and poses no threat to your fish. We have tons of those guys around here; they are called twig borers.



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Water bugs eat fish? In my tank it's always been the other way around and I feed them water bugs. But then what bug wants to mess with a congo tetra full of teeth. Poor water bugs. At first I thought they might be cute to live in the tank but then they got ripped to pieces in less than 30seconds.

Well the bug died already so obviously it wasn't aquatic.

Chop it in pieces & feed it to your fish.
