Scarlet Isopods (Ardentiella sp.)

Description

Ardentiella sp. ‘Scarlet’ is a stunning isopod species prized for its vivid, fiery red colouring, which stands out beautifully against dark substrates and leaf litter. Originating from humid tropical environments, this species makes a fantastic display addition to a well-established bioactive enclosure.

Scarlet Isopods do best in a mature, stable setup with consistent humidity and minimal disturbance. They breed at a moderate rate once settled, and benefit from supplementary calcium and a varied diet of leaf litter, wood and occasional protein.
