water louse- Asellus sp.
Has anyone cultured Asellus? These are the common water louse. I have them in my scud tank, and they seem to actually be doing better than the scuds.

Re: water louse- Asellus sp.
I have had a culture in my white cloud minnow tank for 3 years now and they are still going strong, they have formed the main part of my clean up crew. In this tank they only come out at night. I had them in a glass dish before they were put in the tank and were out during the day as well (due to no predators being around...). I used to feed them on fish food and small pieces of leaves.
