Basic Clean Up Crew Bundle: Porcellionides Pruinosus and Springtails

Description

Basic Clean Up Crew Bundle: 10 count Porcellionides pruinosus isopods and 1 starter culture of white springtails. We will select the color of isopod included in this bundle based on current stock (may be any color we carry including but not limited to powder blue, powder orange, white out, mixed genetics/party mix.)

Porcellionides pruinosus is a medium sized isopod that grows and reproduces very quickly. These isopods are also very fast moving and catching them can be a challenge! They have a powdery coating to them which sets them apart from other similar species. This species is great for large enclosures that need a clean up crew established quickly, and are also fairly tolerant of arid environments as long as a moist hide is provided at all times. This is one of my favorite species for bioactive setups due to their ability to tolerate a wide range of environments and establish quickly.

This species will readily cannibalize each other if there is not enough protein in their diet. I make sure I feed mine a protein source such as fish food or freeze dried shrimp about once a week when culturing separately.

Does not ship to OR.
