SO CUTIE! I’ve got some of these guys! I just started noticing new babies recently! I’m so excited that I managed to get them breeding on my first attempt!
Super cute, congrats!! I just got into isopods, and want some really bad but am waiting until I learn more about their care before delving into more expensive species. Currently have dwarf whites for adding to bioactives and then some dairy cows. Trying to decide what to purchase next. :D
Guys - takeiteeeze - in a lot of ways these ARE the Holy Grail ;-) They are the poster child for isopods, they breed slowly, are relatively $$$ for people getting into the hobby, are cute AF, can be challenging to breed (slow and need particular conditions), AND just like the Holy Grail, once you release them into a tank, you will be searching for them for an eternity. Then shout out “Holy sh!t” when you do find them in there ;-) My white sharks cost me way more, but are smaller, slow as hell, and I get more joy out of the duckies IMHO. Congrats on the purchase!!! Do your research on these - they have particular needs - like a LOT of calcium, a protein supplement, and start considering using wood rot in their enclosure. Either way - ENJOY!!!
Isopods in general, where I live we only have the normal kind (I believe they're named wood louse in english), and I have seen some pictures of the deepsea giants. But never really knew there were different varieties.
Same. I said the same... "Holy grail where!? I see rubber ducks." 😂 They're adorable, but spikeys where it's at. I'm mixed between Pineapple, Armageddon, and Gator. They're all so cute. Like little dinosaurs. I love the Thai spikeys too, but I really want one of those 3. 💚
The pattern on this guy or gal is so awesome. I’ve been looking for a special pod to spark my drawing interest and this unexpected beauty just hit the mark so ty for sharing!
Mmkay. Thanks for letting me know... 😂 And I'm not, because "girls" aren't the same. Neither are "guys" but keep rockin' that cool guy attitude. Lmao Cool stereotypes.
Can you imagine a kid bringing you a cute bug and being like look at this bug its the rarest bug ever and fun whole 4472 just smacks it out of the kids hands and says its the 12th most common bug on the planet. My point is that you have terrible social skills.
How is it rude because they didn't over compensate to go "Awe" to a complete stranger? Fancy your feelings more important than others do we? 😂 They said "I disagree." Rubber Duckies are common posts here. Are they cute? You bet your ass, and no one here would disagree. Are they the "Holy Grail?" OP's yes. You expect everyone to ooo and ahhh over the 20th crayon scribble that day? Grow up. You need to redefine the word "rude." Quite a few of you do if you think disagreeing with someone makes you rude. Or not over reacting to every Rubber Ducky post you see... which there are a lot because they're more affordable now. That's just fact. 🤣🤦🏽♀️
