I think mosquito larva, that's what I'm seeing in the pic.

They'd have to be moving around pretty frantically for me to be sure. The shape reminds me of a flatworm.

It kinda resembles mosquito larvae, but not menacing enough to be dragonfly.

Re: Can you ID ?

Everybody seems to agree, so I played it safe and removed them from the tank. That tank's in a non-AC area of my basement, and I figure with the dogs going in and out the slider, a few mosquitos must've snuck in and found a warmer spot. I was planning to move the tank to the other side of the wall come winter, but now I'm thinking sooner rather than later.
