tank cleaners

hey scorpion people.
i may be getting a millipede...
could i possibly add it to my P. cav's tank?
will they hurt each other ? because i know millies drop a substance when they are in danger :/
anybody else do this?
thanks

You will end up with a dead millipede mate, so No

i wouldnt out anything in with your cav unless you want it to get eaten lolz

oh no.. i don' want a dead pede, certainately not risking ahmed's life too,

ps. ahmed is my cav lol

millipede won't kill your scorp but on the other hand your scorp will have the pede for dinner.

like i said. i'm not going to risk it.
i might get some wood lice instead

Yeah theyll leave a stinky substance when they are threatened they also curls into balls
Ive played with millepedes when back in my childhood days feeding them to my spiders

I would say isopods but I vaguely remember somebody saying an isopod killed one of his instars.

So I would say look into getting Soft Tails? I think that's what they're called. Good for cleaning tanks and they stay small.

Neal, I think you mean spring tails. They are used in dart frog tanks for cleanup and food. You can buy cultures for them that you just soak and pour onto the substrate.

Here's a LINK

There is a video to watch that shows you how to set them up.

I know it had something with tail in it! Thanks.

No prob. They seem lare a good addition to any moderately humid tank, and a good alternative to isopods.
