I probably have Cirolanids, my tank is without fish, it's in phase of beginning.

Exist there another solution to wait 6 months without fish.

Here images of isopods which I found.

Thanks

Sorry, that is not a female sphaeromatid, that's a cirolanid or a similar isopod and a fish predator. I haven't heard of a more reliable method to get rid of them than starving them out.
