Umm what the ??? in my pump. Lemon for scale only.

had a media reactor pump clog, soaked overnight in vinegar... this critter was in the tub after. Looks like an evil centipede or something. Lemon for scale.

The last picture, the two little guys on the right are Amphipods. The big one looks like a house centipede that likely fell into your sump and died

You should see what fell in my tank a while back

I had to look that one up, and you are correct. Originally from the Mediterranean region, house centipedes, Scutigera coleoptrata, have spread to other parts of the world. The only thing Mediterranean around my house are geckos!

I concur with crabs, big thing is a house centipede, crazy fast predator usually found in dark and damp conditions in most of the world. I've seen them in Canada, Florida and the biggest species I've ever seen was in Peru... thought it was small rat at first...

They often get stuck in sinks, tubs and light fixtures and can't crawl back out. They can drop they're legs when frightened and supposedly have a painful bite (not medically significant though).

I'd be really surprised if these things (or their relatives) aren't in Texas.

Thanks all

Well then, they may be fast, but not as fast as my geckos! lol! I will keep my eyes open to try to see one.

Bleck, I hate those guys! I’d rather be covered in spiders then even be in the same room as a thousand legger! If they actually were able to live in our tanks I would have quit the hobby years ago haha.

And the yellow thing on the left in the first picture is and “organic lemon” originally from South Asia. They grow on evergreen trees. It’s a citrus fruit, the juice from a lemon is used in all sorts of things from cleaning to cocktails, the rind or “zest” is used in cooking and baking....

As someone who has chased both species and their relatives across many corners of the world- don't underestimate the speed of the pede, its closer than you think

Common names only add confusion, please use the proper latin... In this case its Thousandlegsicus holy****mynightmaresarerealdis
