a few of my isopod cultures with lots of bark flips, please don't forget to like and subscribe and comment what you wanna see in the next video see you all next week 🙂
Amazing. I have a question - will the little critters regulate their population? I wonder if there's apossibility of overcrowdign when they are as prolific as some are
Hi a great video! Thank you for sharing. I used to have white dwarf and powderblue for a long time. But they never breed at the level that you have in your tubs. Is it because of fish food you feed? I used to feed them banana peel and snake shed skin.
@@BigRedsIsopods It's a really good source of nutrients for them (and millipedes, roaches etc), soaking leaves in a bucket of water outside is something I used to day before I had a pond.
Hello. Do you introduce the leaves wet? Do you collect them directly and do you treat them or are they purchased? And... how often do you change the substrate and in what way? Thank you
When you prepare leaves for isopods: you can collect leaves from your local area, they prefer non waxy , non citrus leaves. Boil your leaves for a couple minutes or you can put them in the oven for a while. And thats it, you can feed them to your isos
Thanks rawavocadomeat3129, I’ve given them to them wet if you have a well established colony then it won’t be a problem but if the leaves arnt being eaten right away it could cause mold witch could lead to health issues with your isopods.
Birch and willow will work great and I’m sure you could try the other two as well and see if they eat it or not, just make sure there dried out so you don’t get MOLD
I’m a huge fan, can you keep making daily videos. Your such an inspiration
I never thought of feeding my overgrown fish tank greens to my isopods! Thank you sir
Do you boil your own leave litter? Would be cool to see a video on the collection and prep process
Great video! Love the content!❤
Apparently, mine prefer live plants.

How often should i feed my small culture? There is around 15 of them.
I always feed my isopods once a week, the amount depends on if they eat it all or not, start wit a little but always make sure they have dried leaves
Thank you.

Great video. Really enjoyed. Great to see how you deal with problems as they arise! Well done
Much appreciated!
There are no Armadillidium montenegrum. Zebras are Armadillidium maculatum.
How do you find those giant bark
He probably bulk buys from pangea or makes his own by disinfecting it
Thanks for the video! What brand of fish scale food do you give them? Do you have a photo of the bottle? Thank you!
I honestly just buy the biggest bag I can find at the pet store due to how many isopods I need to feed
Your fish tank lettuce reminded me I have to get leaves from my pond for my isopods, they absolutely love it (after a quick wash)
i can imagine they would love that 🥰

Why i never seen my isopods eat 😅
Do you only feed them once a week? And what about the spritzing
Do you have a preferred brand of fish flake?
I have lilac, birch, red bud, and willow in my yard. Can I use them for leaf litter?
Birch and willow will work great and I’m sure you could try the other two as well and see if they eat it or not, just make sure there dried out so you don’t get MOLD
Some of your filming up close is not good look back yourself
Where did you get that spray bottle?
Amazon 😅
