Cubaris sp. “Cherry Blossom” Isopods

Price range: £80.00 through £370.00

Blush-pink Cubaris isopods with creamy-white accents — a beautiful, slow-breeding display species for humid bioactive setups.

SKU: BBUK-ISO-CCB Categories: ,

Description

Cubaris sp. “Cherry Blossom” is one of the prettiest isopods in the hobby — soft blush-pink bodies with creamy-white skirts and accents, like petals on the forest floor. A slow-and-steady Cubaris species, they’re a rewarding choice for keepers ready to move beyond beginner isopods and build a true display colony.

Like most Cubaris, they appreciate a stable, humid setup with deep leaf litter and plenty of hides, and breed more slowly than common clean-up crew species — patience is repaid with a stunning colony.

Frequently Asked Questions

A starter culture of 10–15 mixed-size isopods is enough to establish a colony in most vivariums. They breed steadily and build up to match the size of the enclosure over a couple of months.

Isopods eat leaf litter, rotting wood and decaying matter, plus a calcium source (cuttlefish bone or limewood) and the occasional protein top-up. They also process animal waste and leftover food in a bioactive setup.

Most species need a humid area with a moisture gradient so they can choose their comfort zone. Keep one side of the enclosure damp, provide good ventilation, and add plenty of hides and leaf litter.

Yes. Clean-up crew isopods are harmless to healthy animals and form a natural part of a bioactive enclosure, recycling waste and helping keep the substrate clean.

Isopods breed more slowly than springtails — expect a visibly growing colony over 2–3 months under good conditions, and longer for slower display species such as Cubaris.
