dhoffroad Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I just got back from vacation and seen this on one of my snails. What is it is it, a "pod" of some sort? Is is good or bad? The tank is kinda new . the pic is not the best but hopefully it is good enough .TIA Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 i cant tell what the heck is what in the pic. I think it would be easier if there were arrows that labled it! Are all of those things legs? is there a tail?? im confused~ well....maybe ill help by showing you an actual pods.... Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 amphipod (these are good) Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 isopod i just picked this one b/c it looks like a bunch of legs like yours (i dont even know if those were legs lol) g/l Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 ok here you go I will try to get a better pic if needed . by the way the snail it is on is the size of a nickle. I just looked and it is still hanging on to the snail. Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 when I took it out of the tank it was dead well atleast not moving so I will think dead. did this come from inside the tank or from outside the tank (land bug or water bug) the first is the underside and the last is the top side next to a nickle for size refrence. What do you think? Link to comment
USFnano Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 My guess is land bug... edit: found it, a Silverfish: http://www.ext.vt.edu/departments/entomolo...s/silverfi.html Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 yea i thought it looked like a silverfish too (we had a prob with those in a walls b4 we moved), but i was too embarassed to say it! i thought it would be weird if someone pulls a bug out of their LR and i tell them its something that eats wood in your house~ g/l Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 thanks for your replys after I pulled it out of the tank I also tought it was a silver fish , but I am new to SW and I am seeing diffirent things pop up in on the LR so I just had to ask. kinda funny that it was a silverFISH .
