I have read how people get little pests in there roach enclosures. Anyone ever get silverfish? I was cleaning out my roach tank the other day and found silverfish (yuk!) I have my tank on the top of my desk, so it surprised me that they were in my roach tank. I have seen them in the bathroom every once in a while, but not in the livingroom. I made sure I cleaned out the tank with soap and water, and rinsed very well. The thought of silverfish creeping around my home gives me the willys.

I love silverfish. I think they are really neat. I agree I would not necessarily want them in my living room though. They move so darned fast! I also normally find them in the tub. I wonder why? I always try to catch them and releast them outside. Hope they are no longer a problem for you.
