The listing is for 1x animal, of a highly sought-after species of isopod (woodlouse/roly poly/pillbug) that is famous for its beautiful markings with yellow spots in the center. This species is normally orange/grey, but a percentage of individuals from my culture can come out very blue/purple.
Cubaris sp. "Platin Tung Song" 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 Thung Song district, Thailand. 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.
