free snack for your fish if you ask me

but aye take them out if you like

well my fish are trying to eat them but it doesnt look like they are going to succeed because they are quiet big

That's what I thought at first but stonefly nymphs only have two cerci and mayfly have three but they are usually longer

my guess is damselfly nymphs
