    Today after planting my 4ft tank I realised that the wood I bought from Teo's has 2 lice.

    Immediately I removed 1 manually and the other was removed by my ram.

    The thing is, will they survive in water? Multiply etc?

    Wah piang eh.... [self-censored]

    Okay lah, ahem.... why donch u soak the wood in kerosene before placing in tank. Last time when mrs budak was girl-girl mrs budak's mama used that to get rid of head lice, so maybe the same will work for wood lice lor.

    *roll eyes!*

    Eh... steve, Mrs Budak is joking.

    Leave them there, the fishes will get regular snacks at most.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Well if anyone is stupid enough to follow mrs budak's barely-tongue-in-cheek advice... *rolleyes*

    mrs budak did a preliminary search of "woodlice aquarium" on Google. One of the first results came up:

    CRO Aquarium - Feeding Your Fish.... Woodlice: These nutritious isopods can be found in compost heaps or under rotting wood...

    no. they aren't aquatic, standard woodlouse. only reason they ain't drowned yet is because their body is coated with fine hairs forming a air bubble around them. (surface tension effect) once its used up , they drown or get eaten by your fish
