HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Im happy the image doesn't work lol

I haven't seen nematodes anymore but I've seen these little red bugs. They have 3 segments. Ive seen them interact with the isopods and they seem perfectly fine. I know they aren't ants because they look different. Can anyone identify who they are, and if they are dangerous?

thank you. Im going to try it once to see if they like it (because I have isopods that didn't eat any of it )

*I meant hermit crabs in the second sentence

I’m so sorry that no body responded. What did you do?

I know isopods love Repashy Bug Burger. But it is safe for isopods?

Also, I recently put in Zucchini in my isopod tank. I saw one tiny, clear worm on it. Is this a nematode? If so, how can I get rid of them?

According to what this guy is saying, only if they are or have traveled over state lines. It's a permit to allow transport. If you collect them in your state, buy them from someone within your state who has their permit, or buy them from someone in your state who has collected them within your stat...

So for someone to keep isopods, even local ones, they need to get a permit?

i Just came back from vacation, and I don’t see any isopods. Even any on their cork log. I don’t see any either. Could get just have all dug?

If I were to clean tank items such as driftwood, would I be able to use tap water or would I need to treat it with dechlorinizer? I already treated the water, I just never used it before and I probably treated it wrong.

I never see any babies on the carrots. I also rarely see poop on the food

Sorry for all of these questions. This is my isopod tank
Any suggestions?

Would regular freeze dried shrimp work the same? I hope they find something which they will enjoy. I used to have a food bowl and they used to eat it a long time ago, and now I dont' use a food bowl. WIll the food bowl make a difference?

I tried grasshoppers, moist apples, and carrots with no luck.
