AnimalNerd98 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Do we have any isopod nerms on here? If yes, post some pics of your colonies! My established colonies are my P. pruinosus ‘powder orange’ and A. gestroi. The P. laevis and the P. pruinosus ‘Oreo Crumble’ are new. I also got P. pruinosus ‘white out,’ ‘powder blue,’ and ‘orange cream’ for my birthday recently. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the ones on the third picture look so cool! Isopods are a type of crustacean that live in saltwater, freshwater, and land. The land loving ones are often called pill bugs. A common kind in North America is A. vulgare, known as the common roly-poly. I believe in French they are known as les cloportes. From what my cousin says, many Germans refer to them as kellerassel. Hope that helps ✌🏻 Edited October 8, 2022 by AnimalNerd98 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may sound weird @Flumpweesel, but a friend did his A-level project on wood lice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 For my frogs tank I ran with powder orange. But I almost got powder blue as well. Awesome cultures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Don't have pics, but I keep dwarf whites for my dart frog vivs. I never had much success getting them to reproduce in decent numbers (in the separate colony one keeps to continually top up or replenish the viv) until someone told me they love fish food (the isos, not the person). Now they're increasing like crazy (again, the isos not the person). I'd love to get some of the rubber duckie isos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Check out Chris "The Mad Aquarist" Biggs on YouTube he has quite a few videos on isopods that he keeps. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xy7F381_BDD_jgkrc1zQg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
