1:04 I love how the captions kind of imply how the isopods in the fishes stomach is cute to them despite the isopods slowly destroying the fish carcass lmao
Awesome video. Quick question maybe you'll be able to help me out. I've read that dairy cows are more protein driven than a generalist like powder blues. If i have both in a bioactive set up for a reptile will both thrive? Or will one dominate over the other? What do you recommend feeding a colony of about 20 before they have a chance to munch on the feces of the reptile inhabitant?
Thank you! My brother actually tried to have laevis dairy cow and pruinosus together, but little by little the laevis outcompeted almost all the pruinosus. You can test if you want, the result can vary depending on setup and maintenance. But in my experience laevis usually takes over anyway :) In my newly started colonies, I feed protein-rich fish pellets or cooked mealworms about 1-2 times a week. The amount is difficult to estimate, I try not to give more than what the colony can eat in 24 hours.
I've had it for 3-4 years now, but have sold quite a few in the meantime. Dairy cows reproduce quickly, so within 2 years you can probably get an equally large colony if you start with 8-12 individuals.
imagine being a land crustacean and eating fish, it must trigger some ancestral memories lol

That colony looked tiny at the start, and then they all found the fish

Are those dairy cows? And was that a buenos aries tetra?
the absolute swarm!
My isopods are dying. They are in a terrarium bowl and have food and holes in the top of the lid. Can someone tell me why
Interesting... Mine eats the skin, I wonder why yours Left it intact. Great video ❤
How long did that colony take to get that large? Mine won’t breed for me, not like that at least

@@insekteronline what about common garden-variety roly-polies
I have plenty of those and I hope the colony grows this big
Fantastic!!

NICE
🥰🥰
Do you think I can feed my isopods chicken? 😂 (armadillium gestroi)
Yet we have fossils 🤔
Because there was a great flood.
I never knew these horrible creatures existed, kinda wish I never learned...felt sorry for the shark.
Dude xd Neither they are horrible nor it's a shark
shark..? rage bait for sure 🤣
you have discord?I'm from Brazil, so I don't have anyone to talk to about isopods.
or if you know any discord group to send me, I'll be grateful
No sorry I don't have discord, but I do have an Instagram 😁 @ spodasandpodas at insta
There is an isopod subreddit.
