You should have springtails, they keep the mold/fungus in check and are compatible with isopods. The mini white isopods won't directly hurt the others but they often outcompete other isopod species to the point the others suffer and die off over time.
@@Neromace Do a search, there are plenty of sources. Many herp supply sites sell them in addition to sites that specialize in isopods. They are usually used together.
@@audreyreiley1976 Sure, was just saying the mini white will out-breed and out eat other species. You put more food, the Mini's will breed more mouths. As they are parthogenic every single isopod can make more isopods. Bottom line, they are fast breeders. Much faster than most other species.
I’ve had mold outbreaks in my isopod enclosures, especially when they first start off and there aren’t as many springtails. Springtails are generally useful for stopping mold outbreaks before they get big but once they’ve taken up lots of space in the terrarium it could take a long time for the springtails to eat it all which the isopods don’t have. Mold isn’t necessarily harmful to isopods but they could get tangled in it, especially the babies. Also isopods do not eat mold, maybe they do indirectly when they eat decomposing matter but not even close to a primary or even secondary food source. I have no clue where this misconception came from
im guessing he wanted to make it more simple for the viewers but i didnt know that thank you for goving me that info i knew there were/are water species of them but didnt know they were still classified in thebsame group
mold is very common within isopod terrariums, ive had it happen multiple times, i would recommend adding springtails to it as they actually help eat mold!
This is soo cool! I have a terrarium case that I have been trying to decide what to do with. I was thinking cacti, but now I want to make a moss forest! Also I wanted to say I like how you pronounce the word "spider" haha
an ecosystem can only carry so much organisms, adding the white isopods is an odd choice, since springtails would do much better in eating mold and also act less of a competition on the isopods, over all its a lovely project, hope you had fun with it!
@@dog_2 I would figure he’d want this to work…. And for anybody who try’s to do the same for it to work… And yeah he should do research, did you not see how he was keeping his hamsters?! Yeah doing that for just fun is at the hamsters expense
@@dog_2 that’s alright. I understand. The isopods in this setup should do alright though. But the hamster setup and care is horrible, it’s basically the same thing he’s keeping the isopods in
8:00 isopods eat detritus and don’t produce glucose from eating chlorophyll. They’re mostly eating what is already starting to die. To feed them just throw in some plant trimmings and leaves. Kinda miss named video cuz it sounds like you think they’re starving but you’ve got plenty for them to eat. The set up looks good and mushroom are a good sign and not hard to believe at all. Those are parasol mushrooms that I don’t think are poisonous but wouldn’t be worth foraging anyways.
Just don't use glass on top. Use plastic mesh, and there will be no more mold (computer fan and springtails will work as well, if mold is already there).
If there’s already lots of mold, just take most of it out. Even a modest amount of established springtails cannot deal with a large mold outbreak, only prevent them from getting big.
jumping spiders and wolf spiders are the smartest insects. they have multipurpose nerves since they are visual hunters that need to process tons of data
Amazing video and what happen ... amazing i have also a terrarrium in my hobby ... i have osserved and i conferme that the isopods walk in night . Whos creature can I put insider?
Ive set up a terrarium recently and i added some 5 grey tropical and 20 large orange and the grey have reproduced but the orange seem to be getting to a full grown size and then dying. They have both isopod food aswell as leaves, worm casings, and lots of wood. I cant work out whether the ones that are dying is because they are old and at the end of their lives or if there is something that is poisoning them. unfortunately. Unfor6the bottles opening is only 5 cm wide so i cant reach a couple of the dead isopods, so i hope it's not a disease. Has anyone got any advice?
THOSE ARENT DWARF WHITES! DO NOT ADD OTHER ISOPODS TO THE TERRARIUM, ONE SPECIES WILL OUTCOMPETE THE OTHER UNTIL THE OTHER SPECIES NO LONGER REMAINS IN THE TANK, REMOVE THEM AND ADD THEM TO ANOTHER TERRARIUM
*Camera pans to isopods eating the moss on top of the piece of wood* My brain: "Aww they look like little cows" Narrator 1 second later: "They look like little cows on a pasture."
Keeping it out in the sun is probably overkill. Springtails will be able to deal with small mold outbreaks and keep them from getting too large. The sun would probably end up killing the moss anyways
If you went to see if mushrooms are edible break it in half, if it stays white on the inside you can eat it, if it starts changing the color it's not edible
I would not follow this advice at all. I would not recommend eating mushrooms at all if you don’t know the species and there is no telltale signs of a poisonous mushroom unless you can identify extremely similar species easily. A better way is to rub it against your skin and wait for a reaction. If nothing happens pop it in your mouth but don’t swallow. Wait a few minutes and if nothing happens, you can probably eat it. Only do this is you are desperate though
At least it’s not a hamster, makes me happy. Also isopods eat mostly decaying matter, not moss lol. That dead moss would of been a perfect food source. Gotta do some more research my man, we got the internet…. Son of the things you’ve said clearly has suggested you’ve not
Especially this species, Porcellio scaber, which loves decaying matter and protein as a secondary food source. Some isopods like those of the genus Armadillidium love live plants and fresh veggies. I’ve had success keeping Armadillidiums in a setup with no leaf litter and just moss and dead moss. Having decomposing leaf litter is ideal though, for all species

It's a bagworm

How do i get springtails
@@Neromace Do a search, there are plenty of sources. Many herp supply sites sell them in addition to sites that specialize in isopods. They are usually used together.
@@sunriseshellsome pet smarts also sell them if you have one near you
agreed. also i get that isopods die but i try to keep mine pretty comfy and don't let them die out from food disappearing
@@audreyreiley1976 Sure, was just saying the mini white will out-breed and out eat other species. You put more food, the Mini's will breed more mouths.
As they are parthogenic every single isopod can make more isopods.
Bottom line, they are fast breeders. Much faster than most other species.
Have you tried adding adding springtails to eat the mold?
I saw a guy claim that springtails dont even like mold and when hes had mold they died around it😂
Also when isopods populate mold will never happen again
@@ebenoid6643 dawg springtails' main diet is mold and decaying matter
Where do you get those from
Isopods also eat mold
At a very depressing time in my life with 3 family members dying, these new found videos are really calming and relaxing. I needed that. Thank you
Sorry for your losses
Springtails eat mold, could've just added some of these instead of replacing
This comment is 100% accurate.
So do woodlice lol. It would’ve probs balanced itself out if given time.

At 2:38 and 3:40 he calls isopods “bugs” but really they are a species of crustacean they evolved to live on land while still having gills to this day
im guessing he wanted to make it more simple for the viewers but i didnt know that thank you for goving me that info i knew there were/are water species of them but didnt know they were still classified in thebsame group
Ya they are crustaceans, they evolved and looked bugs
Isopods are honorary bugs

That was such a joy to watch, thank you for sharing 💕
I am an animator and I love the nature and animals so this is why im here.
By the way your video is so good
The white goop on the tree was mycelium it’s the same as the needles at the base of the mushroom. Think of it as a mushrooms “roots”.
The mycelium is the main fungi, it grows mushrooms on top!
Don't worry if they are in your garden or terrarium, mycelium is good for plants.
No, the needles on the base is due to high C02 levels in the cage. Ik its an old commenr but im just got recommended this now lol
you should get a springtail colony to help keep down the mold growth, and other detritus
Simply superb story telling and time lapse

mushrooms are a very good sign that your tank is doing well!
You really need an good name for your channel your so underrated.
those mushrooms are probably Psilocybe semilanceata. quite potent and comparable to LSD i heard.
I instantly thought they were shrooms
They aren't since the gills aren't attached to the stem (not adnexed gills)
@@Partooooon FBI open up!!!
When someone says probably in the same sentence as mushroom you know they dont know what they are talking about and shouldnt take their advice.
@@ethanmccormack9561 yeah, a "probably" with mushrooms usually leads to a hospital visit..🤣😂
Those were not dwarf white isopods
Very nice video!
2:16 Nothing inside a terrarium is considered “decoration” by the inhabitants.
I love your vids😊
Is it just me or are those mushrooms scary asf
facts
Only if you take too much without preparing
You didint have to cut me off, you could of just a a a a added springtails
Wow 😍.
Mrówki pozdrawiają ✌️🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
i have closed terrarium for over a year. adden isopods and springtails is a MUST. No mold yet.
Just don't use glass on top. Use plastic mesh, and there will be no more mold (computer fan and springtails will work as well, if mold is already there).
If there’s already lots of mold, just take most of it out. Even a modest amount of established springtails cannot deal with a large mold outbreak, only prevent them from getting big.

Wow beautiful 😍
boom you didint have to cut me off

day 1 of planting plants for in my hamsterarium until i get my hamster
5:51 that’s a bag worm. Uses sticky stuff to glue dirt and brush around its body
there are insect that eats mold
those aren't dwarf white isopods, they are dairy cow isopods. the seller misidentified them.

Yes, never cohabitate isopods, one species will ALWAYS, outcompete the other in the small space even if it takes years
So what happened to the hamster and his room mate?

Wouldn't it be beating??😂
This guy solved racisme with isopods
Did not snails heat breathes
Put some ant in there😂
I am wondering what is happening in this enclosure
Did his channel is there in hind
they eat wood too, you have a whole lifetime of food in there for them, they will overrun the tank in a few months
use spring tails bruh and keep the tararium in sun and remove left over food,dekaying plants etc
Keeping it out in the sun is probably overkill. Springtails will be able to deal with small mold outbreaks and keep them from getting too large. The sun would probably end up killing the moss anyways

Hola te veo por los terrarios y como narras los videos y tú forma de ser en español obviamente por que
No inglish no inglish Bro
bro the black and white isopods💀
You should add a predator to keep there numbers in check
i did this, they mate out of control, had to get rid of them
It’s heart was breathing?😂😅 6:21
Maybe you could introduce a predator to control the isopod population
