Gina, Aren't your new flood tables 'outside' of the greenhouse...and don't they drain back into the troughs 'inside' the greenhouse ?

Gina - you can find insects (and algae, and copepod/isopod dispersal stories that are truly astounding / bordering on impossible. Even if you did absolutely nothing to introduce anything into your water, you will be surprised at the number of things that float in the breeze or are hybernating as cysts. On our farm, which gets dry as hell with no rain for months on end, whole ecosystems pop up in puddles of water after rain. If I stick a clear container of rain water out in the sun for a few…

midge fly larvae are only about .75 cm long and much thicker than the tubliflex worm which is fine as babys hair and about 3 cm long,, they dance like garden eels

<p>Gotcha. If what I saw this am were Gammarus, I have no explanation for their appearance in our system as there has been no introduction of new fish, water plants or debris that had contact with an aquatic environment. </p>

<p>I expect in HI it is mostly commonly from the source water or with the water when introducing the fish.</p>
<p>Or when the random person puts a water plant in the system to keep it alive</p>
<p>or any other debris that might have had contact with an aquatic environment and not been totally sterilized before contacting the system.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The little critters are small enough that it would be incredibly easy to miss them when getting new fish.</p>
