what is this? weird looking rollie pollie

[dragon79]

Found this some time back in Sandra's tank, when doing a water change.

It looked like something bad, so I'm glad it went out. (haven't seen anything like it since in her tank)

Well any way here are two pics. Maybe somebody can identify him.

Looks like an Isopod

I do believe that Sadie got it right.

as I suspected. I remember phischy having a lot of them in his tank when he first started off. He had to literally harpoon them out of the tank.

well from the diagrams you provided there sadie, it was a female. That day I took a picture of it, I left it out on the table. (forgot to toss it) I came home and found him dry and dead.

I believe she was a loner. Well I'm glad to make a good positive ID and have that sucker gone!
