Hello!
I have started a 10g tank two weeks ago with a live rock and live sand (Nature’s Ocean). Since then I started to see some new critters almost every day on the rocks and sand. It is kind of exciting but a bit scary...
One of my concerns are isopods. They have shown up pretty quickly darting through the tank and then multiplied :/
I don’t like how they look and I don’t want them in my tank so i started removing them for some days. I have caught like 15 big ones and 50 small ones and in the night i saw two more adults hiding. Most are not so hard to catch with a net or turkey baster.
The question is: are these isopods bad? They look like Cirolanid but at the same time they don’t have evil big eyes but more round and on the sides...
I want to know if i can safely introduce a fish?
Can they attack a crab? Shrimp?
Cheers!
