Not sure how I got so many leeches but there are over 10. Not sure what kind the big ones are but I'm in northern Utah. I grabbed mud from a local creek and plants, sticks, pinecone. So far I have seen a couple isopods, tiny black snails, and scuds but not sure how the leeches will impact things, but so far I like how it looks when the muddy water settled over the last 3 days. I'm going to practice discipline and not open this one.

Bring it over to r/Ecosphere 🙂
I’m in Northern Utah and been keeping wild caught leeches too. As cool as they are, there’s a good chance they’re going to eat a lot of stuff in there. I had eight leeches in a 10 gallon tank and got rid of five plus a dragonfly larvae because my snail and isopod populations were down by 80-90% after a couple of months.
The worm right by “cups” on the second pic is a Planaria. Looks like another one is to the right of a snail near the horizontal leaf at the top.
