My 1st ever care video! Most of my videos are about isopod species profile and taxonomy. Cubaris sp. 'rubber ducky' is my favorite isopod and since its unclassified by Science. I decided to focus on my set up, care and things I have discovered along the way for the past two years.

Not gonna lie, this is probably one of the most helpful guides to maintaining a "non-starter" isopod culture I've ever come across. Short, sweet, to the point, and funny! Doesn't take itself too seriously, I appreciate your memes. Thank you for this!!

I basically followed what you said and only have 5 rubber duckies that I got 2 months ago and already have babies. I keep them pretty moist and cooler I think makes all the differance. I also have snakes so I put their waste and shed to feed them along with isopod food.
