Product Description
Porcellionides Pruinosus (Orange Cream)
For live delivery guarantee: if your temps are below 40 or above 85° the "Hold for Pickup" button must be checked above!
These are a genetic variation of the "Powder Orange' isopods; the pattern reminds us of orange koi fish.
They will grow to 21mm as long as a nickel! They prefer warmer temps up to 85°.
The culture can be used to seed a new tank to raise your own, or to add to a vivarium to eat detritus (they are good eaters, don't let them get hungry!)
Consider adding on Repashy Morning Wood as an all-in-one food and water source for them.
Isopod Care
Isopods should be kept in a dark area at room temperature. They LOVE to burrow, so give them lots of slightly moist substrate at 2 to 3 inches deep.
Leaf litter can be used not only to top their bedding, but they will also enjoy eating it. Cork bark can be placed on top as a hiding place and for easy removal of the isopods. They need calcium for nutrition; you can use crushed eggshells, or small cuttlebones.
Lightly mist them at each feeding to keep their enclosure humid.
