Powder Blue Isopods
Powder Blue Isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus) are hardy, beginner-friendly isopods for bioactive terrariums. They serve as a natural cleanup crew — consuming mold, decaying plant matter, and animal waste to keep your enclosure clean and healthy.
Care
- Substrate: Moist organic mix (coconut fiber + leaf litter + sphagnum moss)
- Temperature: 70-80°F
- Humidity: 60-80% (provide both moist and dry areas)
- Food: Leaf litter (primary), decaying wood, fish flakes, calcium supplements (cuttlebone)
In Bioactive Setups
Powder Blues are the most popular starter isopod — fast breeding, hardy, and excellent cleanup performance. Ideal for dart frog vivariums, crested gecko enclosures, and any humid bioactive setup. Pair with springtails for complete mold control. Both species establish self-sustaining populations in properly set up vivariums.
Live arrival guaranteed on all isopod cultures.
