Wanting to know about isopods

[Emm33333]

I don't know about isopods and was wondering what info you guys have on them and if I should get them

Hello. Here is the link to the forum: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 26&t=92538

I purchased my isopods from Stacey at Isopod connection: www.isopodconnection.tictail.com

[Emm33333]

Thx!

[GotButterflies]

Yw!

If you like really active isopods I recently got powder blue's from her - those things are crazy fast and all over the tank I put them in! They crack me up!

[Emm33333]

Lol! Have your crabs attempted/ have eaten them?

[GotButterflies]

Yes, they have, not sure if they have succeeded. I have bought quite a few different kinds from Isopod Connection. I love how clean they keep my tanks Highly recommend them!

Quick question: could I breed isopods in a 2.5 gallon tank? Or would I need a 10g?

Love Stacey at Isopod Connections!!! She is so personably and friendly. I emailed her several times asking tons of questions about isopods and she answered all of them in a very timely manner. I've ordered more than once through her for our zebra isopods (we lovingly call The Marties after The Madagascar movie Marty ) - they were shipped quickly and in great condition! Can't say that I have personally seen our crabs hunt a Marty but u never know;)

Thanks! I'll probably get them off there since both of you guys recommend her!

No, it said 3+ gallons. I would recommend following recommendations.

[Emm33333]

Ok. Thanks. I'll probably just purchase another 10g which'll probably mean by my birthday I'll have a
40g
29g
10g ISO
10g isopod tank!!

Actually, you can breed them in a tote - with a locking lid Much cheaper than an aquarium..but up to you! A tote if it is 3 gallons or larger

Can you post a video? Do they annoy your crabs?

They don't annoy my crabs at all. Tomorrow when I go in to feed them I will try to tape them. They are fast though!

Ok. So I know this looks totally unimpressive. But I walked by my tank, saw a group of isopods coming out of the undersub tunnel. I went to get my phone to get a video and they all dispersed after I turned on the light and now u get to see just the one going like "hey where did everyone go?!" Lol! U can't see it very clearly here but there are some isopods hiding in the openings of some of the little seashells stuck in the tunnel and also between the sea shells.
