Decided to get these Powder Orange Isopods because I found them at a nearby lfs. Had thought of ordering them in the future but saw them locally and bought them.
Fairly expensive imho for a rolly polly, even if it is orange! ($$$ nothing like other harder to acquire species)
About $1.00 each, a couple tiny babies were there too, didn't exactly count them all. About 13 tiny small medium and a couple larger ones.
Powder Orange Isopods eating a couple Crab Cuisine pellets. The instant the pellets dropped into the container the biggest one nearly flipped over backwards to race to get some! A second later the smaller one followed. There are about 6 eating right now.
Looking to get them into a larger space and allow them to make a nice colony.
Considering getting them into a container with some bog type plants. Not sure if it is a closed container how it will work with a couple I had in mind also depending on if I can get them locally need to try online.
The lfs said they can get me the Dwarf Purple and a couple others. The ones I really liked were the
Cubaris sp. Amber / or Purple Giant / or the "Rubber Ducky / Zebras are cute
Or Porcellio sp. magnificus / haasi High Yellow
