Great video Aquarimax. Sorry I missed the live session but always enjoy catching up. That orange dalmatian is a knock out! Wally
Awesome job, Rus. Sorry I missed the live, I was working.
Ian Brush Thanks Ian, I hope you can catch the next one 👍
I remember how they turned into balls when I touched them in childhood
, but they were grey
Sounds like Armadillidium vulgare...i did the same thing as a child. 😊👍
Wow never seen anything like this on Video before reminds me of childhood looking for bugs I didn't particularly like bugs tbh they made me shiver haha much prefer my fish but what a great video I'm going to show my kids see what they think 😎 keep up the good work.
Start mine in the tubs I get my feeder crickets in
I missed the live stream! Maybe I'll make it next time. Cheers Rus!
BrubbyTV I hope so 👍
Where are the orange powder
I got some of these powder orange isopods for my granddaughter but there are a lot of Blues mixed in with them. If we keep them together will we end up with a blue colony because I'm thinking that the blue may be a more dominant gene than the orange. I told her I would try to find out and if that's the case we will start the complicated task of separating them into two separate tubs
Love ittt
Does the substrate for Orange isopdes have to be dry or a bit moist? Also
hown aggressive are they & can they be housed with ivory millipdes?
Do soil centipedes eat isopods? How about soil mites? I caught a few and set them loose upon my powder orange enclosure, and I haven't seen much of the mites.
I got grey isopods I got from my backyard (western new york area). they are always buried in the little bit of dirt I have in the container ... it's fall here and I usually keep the house cool in winter (65-70). are they hibernating? do they even hibernate? should I consider a different type that is more active? any thoughts on this offhandedly?
There are a lot of possibilities here...some species burrow nearly all the time, many are most active at night, and many will also burrow when it is too dry for them. At those temperatures, most species collected locally can be active at those temperatures.
Isopod activity also relates to population. If you have small numbers, they are not going to be as visible an active as when you have large numbers.
If you would like to see a lot of activity, I would suggest a more day-active type like Porcellionides pruinosus or Porcellio laevis ‘Dairy Cow.’
No I missed it,But still a nice stream keep it up!
Dinosaurs Terror World hopefully next time! 😊👏
What do you know about nematodes and isopods?
Extra Reptiles do you mean parasitic nematodes and isopods?
does all isopods need springtails?
Lisa Douk not necessarily, but they appear to be beneficial for all isopods. 👍
Yeah I've witnessed some of them actually coming out of a couple of my vulgar
Extra Reptiles that is something I have never witnessed. I guessed I need to read up on that!
Hey Rus, i’m wondering, ive kept powder blue for a few months now, and lately ive been seeing some orange looking fellas, are they considered powder orange? Will the mutation revert back to blue? Thanks.
If they look true orange, and not just a slight orange tinge to the wild type, they may well be powder orange. It is recessive, so if you isolate and select for a few generations you could get a true-breeding orange population. If kept with the blues, you may get a few oranges that pop up here and there, but they will likely remain at low densities because there will be so many copies of the dominant wild type allele in the population .
@@Aquarimax wow thanks for answering so fast! Some looks to be true orange but others are just slightly. I watched your video about breeding and you stated that females can carry sperm for a while and isopods start being reproductive at a 1/3 of their lifespan, so im guessing I'll require some patience, extra keen eye, and luck to have success in isolating that gene huh? 😅
@@JJ-ji9xx Yes, it will require some of all 3! But you can do it!
besides dwarf whites what are the best species to put in a Dart Frog Humid vivarium?
Florida fast are another good option!
@@Aquarimax just picked up some powder Oranges. Some in the vivarium and put the rest in a breeding box!
Ryan Brown You’ll love them! They are hardy and prolific, though they seem to do better in enclosures with more ventilation than dart frog vivaria.
What about Maple and Birch tree leaves?
They should actually work for the birch too, I'm 100% sure, but I'm not sure about the maple, my dubia cockroaches eat them, my Porcellio scabers eat them too, and I don't know about the Porcellio laevis, because I haven't had them for very long.
do you actually enjoy keeping isopods?
peter kinasz yes, I really do 😊👍
cool.
@@peterkinasz6693 I love my pods. 10 species and counting!
My powder orange isopods are dying on me😢
Cuddly Crochet Buddies oh no! What kind of ventilation is in their enclosure?
Can’t u make a video without being on chat so u can make a quality video without listening to you talk to ppl and not talk about the Isopods u sound so rushed it’s not so relaxing
Trudie Risby I try to balance both...about 1/2 love and half not live...that way everyone has some of the type they prefer. 😊
