Giant isopods?

[Galapoheros]

I am leaning towards what Gigus is noting here. The places I have seen them is only in the proximity of saltwater. I haven't seen them anywhere else. There are allot of places I haven't been. But there is something about saltwater having to do with their suitable environment, ....going by what I've seen anyway.

Hey, I just thought I'd mention the fact that there are giant isopods that get imported from madagascar now and again. I've seen them for sale and they were around 3-4 inches in size. I saw a post somewhere of a few for sale but I can't recall for sure. I don't know much about the care of them, I've heard that they starve to death in captivity, but that's all I can give you.
Cheers,
Sam
