Oxidus gracilis eats decaying organic matter. When offered nothing but live roots and leaves, it doesn't eat. They are non-venomous, like all millipedes.

No.

However, if you are playing music you like, chances are you will be in a better mood and more inclined to provide better care for your plants. Or pet fish for that matter.
