Looks like tiny tad poles but the fountain is about 3 ft off the ground. The fountain holds about 8 gals of water, has rock to provide different depth levels and has a water pump to keep the water moving. I just put some tiny gold fish in there to eat the algae and when I did I noticed these wiggling things - are they dragonflies or ? They seem a bit 'fuzzy' too.

How do I get rid of them - not sure if the goldfish will eat them or not.
