No freaking joke, I swear on my tankdom this is not a Hoax or a joke. I come home tonight to my 47 column tank which is being wet tested at the moment. The tank has now had water in it for more than 72 hours, and saltwater in it for roughly 48 hours. I had left my (texas holy rock from and chiclid tank) rock outside for a few weeks (months) before moving it into this tank. So some dirt or what ever was expected. So I fire up the halide tonight and take a look to see if the water has cleared up at all... and I see movement on the rocks, I thought no way I'm seeing things... So I take a closer look and there they are, not one or two, and not dead but about 14 of the suckers, CRAWLING now you might as what A. vulgare an Isopod aka the common pill bug. this rock has been underwater for more than 72 hours, how can this be??
I took pics and video which I will post tomorrow. (Card reader at work) But I'm kinda tripped out right now, some one please explain?
I'm not making this clear, there are common pill bugs that live outside that you find under rock in your back yard, this rock, texas holey rock was taken form a cichlid tank put outside in a box for storage (was out there for a number of weeks, closer to a couple of months I suppose) then was bought back in and put in a virgin tank, virgin sand, and virgin equipment these are testrial isopods...
