    he's really cool. I saw him and panicked because I had no clue what he was and after research I figured it out. He rocks. Doesn't bother anything. Just eats algae off of glass.

    And I thought you guys were just kidding...:-[

    (From Wikipedia...)

    "...Isopods are one of the most diverse orders of crustaceans, with many species living in all environments, but are most common in shallow marine waters. Unlike most crustaceans, isopods are successful on land (suborder Oniscidea, woodlice, which also includes sea slaters), although their greatest diversity remains in the deep sea (suborder Asellota). There are also several parasitic species within the genus Cymothoa, commonly known as "tongue-biters" for their habit of nibbling off fishes' tongues and attaching themselves to the floor of the host's mouth..."

    :eek:

    I know, I know...but there just seems to be a continuous string of mind boggling facts that keep showing up about this hobby...that I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams....:p

    (part of the fascination about it I guess...;))

    Weird, Is it possible that they came in from the outside and got trapped in there?

    I have the same things around here byut they are outside. Use to play with them as a kid because when you touch them they roll into a ball.

    The ones I knew were these
    Isopod, Pillbug, Sow Bug Information

    They were funny putting in puddles but never lasted.
