- Cubaris (or Nesodillo) sp. ‘Red Tiger’ isopods have amazing colors, but their shyness may prevent them from being the best pet isopod. I have enjoyed my red tiger isopods, despite the fact that they tend to run and hide quite quickly when disturbed. Their variable colors and patterns are beautiful.

Never change Russ from aquarimax pets, you are doing God's work. Is youtube/aquarimax your full tim job? If not what do you do for work outside of this?
Thank you! My full time gig is at a university 😁
Watching your videos reminds me about what CZcams is. Thank you
Those are really cool isopods 😊😊
Thank you Crystal!
Would love a video on Cubaris Jupiters, Cubaris Amber Ducky and also Shiro Utsuri 🙂
An awesome Isopod!
Hi Russ, these are STUNNING!! ❤ I really like these, shame you so far away 👍🏼
They are, aren’t they 😁👍
I never kept Red Tigers but they're just amazing!
I also love that intro, and I keep Cubaris sp. Platin and in my opinion they look quite similar. I also keep little seas. I currently only keep platins, little sea, and an unidentified species.
I’m glad you appreciate the intro 😁 you are the first to comment on it!
@@Aquarimax Wow! I'm first but really these are just gorgeous isopods!
Thank you for the care guide. Mine also return to the same spot. I don't know if it is at a "morph" level, but in late 2020, Hellfire Exotics made a post where they said “high pattern/color line” and I don't know how that went for them. Good luck with those mostly orange ones.
Would love a video on cristarmadillidium muricatum! There is not much on them that I have found. Keep up the great work 😊
I haven’t been keeping them long, but they seem to be doing well. Once I have a nice thriving colony and feel confident I can advise others on their care, I will try to make one!
These are super pretty. I'll have to see if I can find some over here. Great video Rus as always mate :)
I hope you are able to find some!
Such a cool isopod!
It really is!
They seem to look like merulanella but only time knows!
I got my Red Tigers at the same time as my Rubber Duckies, both being my first "rare" isopods. This was back in November. Despite setting them up identically, my Tigers have thrived while the Duckies have slowly dwindled, and may have died out entirely at this point.
I'm not sure what happened, but anecdotally they're easier than Duckies!
I agree, they seem easier than duckies! Mine need more quickly than the duckies did for sure.
this guy looks and sounds like Michael's therapist from gta 5
I have never played the game, but I looked up some images of the therapist out of curiosity. He copied my facial hair!
I've seen these occasionally available in the UK, but have sold fast.
I’ll bet they have!
Beautiful specimens I love those and the red ember bee
Those are gorgeous too!
I have a question I have a huge vivarium I want to add some giant orange isopod’s I already have 3 members of the clean up crew blue isopods springtails and millipedes I am not worried about the isopods out competent each other as I have kept different isopods together with no problem I do what to get a reptile in the vivarium I’m just worried that the orange isopods may harm the reptile
Which species of orange isopods l, and which species of reptile?

Hey Rus, I am planning on breeding garter snakes, I want to make a bio active enclosure with three garter snakes, is a 4x2x2 foot enclosure good? I have been trying to find wooden vivariums as the glass ones are quite pricey, I went to a local pet shop and they were telling me about this wood vivarium which is supposedly waterproof; however, when I searched up the brand online it doesn’t mention anything about it being waterproof, it does come readily built and says it’s sealed though. I’m a beginner and am not sure whether I should trust them, does sealed mean waterproof, I wouldn’t want to spend money on a vivarium for it to get ruined. Also do you think dairy cow Isopods would go well with the garter snakes, I just ordered some and am going to breed those aswell and was planning on putting them in once I had the bioactive vivarium set up. What are your thoughts?
Are they native to Thailand? If so I will go out to look for some later. 👍
I am not sure exactly of their range limits in SE Asia, worth a try!
@@Aquarimax I will let you know if I find any in the jungle. Hope I don't find a viper instead.
Do you have any recommendations for large millipedes that breed well and are suitable for beginners?
How large ?
@@Aquarimax probably the largest you can find, i love isopods but i feel that they're a little small for me.
Are other Cubaris going to be changed to Nesidillo genus?
We shall see!
So this what my "red edge's" look like. Sorta sick of being lied to about what pods i am buying the money i pay for them is out of this world for only a sad 6 ct.
