I pulled two isopods out of an order of pods from Florida pets. Can anyone provide an ID or details on them?

The big one looks like a fishlouse. I don't think they would be good to put into a fish tank being that they are fish parasites.

Thank you for the post. I don't think it is a fish louse based on looking at some online images.

I looked closer at it compared to this post:

It looks like a Sphaeromatid when I inspect it. Searching online it appears that Sphaeromatid are safe to add. I'm going to hold back a bit as I don't trust myself to make the determination.
