SMOOTH SLATER VAR. DAIRY COW
(Porcellio laevis var.'Dairy Cow'
This pod is a classic and is often one of the first notable morphs kept by those new to isopods.
It's no wonder why; they're hardy, prolific, and eye catching! They prefer damp or moist conditions, although can handle partially dry. They breed very well when basic conditions are met and numbers can build to large proportions. They will eat almost anything organic and make suitable members of a bioactive tank (though not necessarily a planted one) or clean up crew for larger animals.
ISOPOD - DAIRY COW
All lots sold come as groups of a mixed age juveniles, possibly an adult or two. The reason for the high proportion of juvenile animals is to ensure you're being sent animals with lots of life ahead of them, rather than adults who may die of old age shortly after reaching you. We find that younger isopods are more adaptable and tend to adjust to their new homes better.
The '+' after the lot size indicates the number stated is the minimum number you'll be receiving. The count does NOT include manca (newly birthed isopods, still white in colour), although it may be mostly juvenile animals which comprise the count.
