    Some of the isopods look more like a rolly polly than most of the amphipods. Rolly is in the eye of the beholder though, of course. Really need a pic of it.

    I'll try to get a pic if I see any again. As I said, I said only one, by itself and haven't seen any since.

    It looks like this, but more see-through, not shiny and obviously a lot smaller.

    +30 for amphipod.


    turn out your lights when it is dark in the room and come back an hour or so later with a flashlight, shine around and you should see a number of them roaming the rocks, sand ect..

    they are beneficial to your tanks ecosystem and are nothing to worry about.
