<p>Thanks Raychel, I thought it might be them at first as well. But am 100% sure it is an aquatic moth now. Once I was on that track I FINALLY found pictures that looks like what is in my tank plus the odd behavior of collecting floating detrus as an underwater cocoon. I also noticed the tell tale sign of arc shaped chewing on some mint leaves that were in the water...and some of those mint leaves are now cocoons in the water. </p>

<p>Sounds like Black Soldier Fly Larvae only they are not usually in the tank. Google Black Soldier fly larvae and look at pictures and see what you think. That is the best way to identify any type larvae. Mosquito larvae aqre very thin and hang in the water they don't actually look like a worm that much.</p>

<p>So, upon further inspection with a friend and a lot of time online, it looks like they are aquatic moths. I never knew something like that existed! </p>
<p></p>
<p>If anyone has more info on them, would love to here about it!</p>
