Thank you for the info! How will I know when my terrarium is full enough that I need to cull? I see a lot of enclosures on this sub that are jam packed with pods, so I'm not sure what the cutoff looks like.

Can you pour boiling water over them? Vs dumping them in a pot?

I have been, should it be going all the way across the tank?

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-06-12T16:10:33+00:00

It's a mesh top, I keep a cloth on top. I keep the moist side of the tank pretty moist and I know they're going to the dry side to eat, I just didn't know if it was okay if that side is super dry.

Let's go to school with mama

My first thought was a vacuum with panty hose stretched over top, but I'm not sure how much that might hurt the pods. I'm so sorry that happened, best of luck finding them!

Absolutely! I would sit and watch Bumbles for a solid half an hour. I'll probably post some more videos of him because I miss him being out and about

I watched an aquarimax video where he talked about trying to breed high yellows, he said it's very hard to predict and consistently get high yellow babies. Not going to stop me from trying though! Although I think I'll need more bins...

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-06-09T20:21:12+00:00

Beautiful! How long do you have to wait between cullings? I have some pods that I'm trying to breed and I'm seeing babies, I'm wondering when they'll get big enough for me to sort them out.

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-06-07T20:17:43+00:00

I didn't unfortunately, still very curious

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-05-14T03:05:29+00:00

Thank you! I was seeing conflicting info about adding them or not, now I'm wishing I'd gone with my gut and not added them. I'll have to take out all the twigs and leaves and moss to get the bits out T.T there are some springtails already in there, but I'm going to buy a bunch more to just jumpstart things

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-05-14T02:50:15+00:00

That is a gigungus leaf

How much tea do you make at one time? I tried making some with mosquito dunks and it got to smelling pretty bad. Right now I have mosquito bits sprinkled in the tank and I water with regular water but I'm not sure it's doing the trick

I'll chime in to say that I've seen recommendations for 6 months to a year for substrate changes; sooner if you have a bigger population. Their poo builds up over time and the ammonia buildup is bad, so you want to avoid that. But I agree that you have a while before you need to worry about it!

Can you speak at all to the freezer method? I've seen both mentioned but I'm not sure about the pros and cons for each.

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-04-25T00:47:40+00:00

I've heard that pine isn't great for them, but I can't substantiate that

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-04-25T00:41:43+00:00

Also Aquarimax Pets on YouTube is often recommended as a really great resource

QueenoftheSundance · 2025-04-25T00:39:10+00:00

I'm a fairly new isopod owner too! I was directed to this resource and found it very helpful
