Live Insects Assorted Isopods, 5 ct
Description
Isopods are small, terrestrial crustaceans that thrive in the same conditions as many exotic pets, making them fun additions to a bioactive tank. Functional as well, they will eat dead leaves, pet waste and shed, and dead feeder insects. Preferring to stay in the soil, they are low risk for escaping and surviving in a home.
- - Assorted variety of isopods containing one species including Porcellio Scaber, Porcellio Laevis, Cylisticus Convexus, Cubaris Murina, Porcellionides pruinosus and many more!
- - Great clean up crew for bioactive enclosures - Isopods break down waste, keeping your tank clean.
- - Grow a food source for your animals in your tank! Many pets, such as dart frogs, will snack on isopods.

- - Seeds up to one 10 gallon or 12x12 size tank or smaller.
- - Can also be kept alone as pets in small containers with wood pieces. They are very active when fed!
