The listing is for 1x animal, of a beginner-friendly species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is popular for their ease of care, and their cute orange-tipped tails. This species shows high variability in colours and often throws out new colour morphs. Notable examples include the "Glacier", "Payapa", and "Mandarin" pedigrees.
Cubaris murina is the perfect choice as a starting species for keepers that want to get into keeping more advanced Cubaris species later on, such as Rubber Duckies and Lemon Blues.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Asia. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
The isopods feed on a variety of forest materials such as decaying wood and leaf litter. Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone) and fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
