i recently got c. murina anemones and i just now purchased c. murina papaya's. while i already knew their care, i still forget some things so i really appreciate coming back to this video! thank you so much russ :)

I got some papayas, and I love them SO much already! Ty for this video so I can keep them thriving

Thank you for this video! You inspired me to keep isopods !

These little Lovies are my absolute favorite

I just found your videos tonight. You are awesome I don’t know how I didn’t see you when I was searching before. Thank you for providing good information straight forward and to the point.

Quick breeding is putting it mildly. I started with seven specimens last year from my own backyard, and even after upgrading to a much bigger bin, the colony looks like moving sand every time I open it. I don’t really have space to split the colony, so the high density is staying for now.

Thank you. Just picked up some new isopods at a reptile show including cubaris marina papaya.

This series is great man!

Oh I'm so glad you made this. I love these guys. I have all the same ones you do except the glacier, But that's coming next week so I can't wait. How is your budgie?

Thanks for uploading this informative video

Those are really awesome love the color...

Cubaris murina are absolutely lovely animals, a little shy like most Cubaris, but they reproduce really well so you always get to see some scurrying around. Is the second part of your ezyeddie video coming soon? I can't believe you've kept us waiting.

I'm in love with my new cubaris murina glaciers already! I really appreciate your isopod video series, it's been so helpful. What are some "tougher" plants that these guys would avoid eating?

Love your Videos. Which cubaris species would you recommend for a beginner?

Excellent Video!

Mine really love banana leaves!

Yay

Do Cristarmadillidium muricatum too 🎉

I was going to ask if they need heat or not. Glad room temp is ok.

The one Cubaris species I keep, because I'm still a bit sketched out by the fact that species like Panda Kings are being collected from the wild with such abandon that there's no real scientific information on them and even less regard for their conservation in the wild. Meanwhile most captive C. murina are derived from stock introduced to North America, and they're not in particular danger by being harvested

can you pleaseeeeeeee do cubaris sp. white side i need help i cant find much information about them

Hello Rus! Great video! You have some wonderful looking isopods there. Would you say these guys burrow a lot? I noticed you said you recommend about an inch of substrate, which leads me to think "not really" but I wanted to ask specifically. I know my Canyon Giants burrow, so I give them more substrate than my others. I always THOUGHT cubaris were diggers, but I could be wrong or mixing things up. I'm still learning! In the future I think I'm going to start a colony of Papayas for my daughters. We'll see. Thanks again. Go easy. Me

I just bought some yesterday! These are a lot more shy then I expected, but are sooo cute and so beautiful! I bought the wildtype little seas but they're so cute. I see tiny white isopods that don't conglobate in the enclosure, I am not sure if they're dwarf whites because they are a lot smaller. Maybe baby dwarf whites? Should I seperate them?

I found one so far. Mainly I get the black or blues around here along with spotted ones. But I'm trying to breed this I think it's male.

I would love to have those breed of isopods collection

Hi Russ! any thoughts on cubaris murina for composting? I've been thinking of adding some isopods to speed up an established indoor worm bin with red wrigglers, and I'm thinking either cubaris murina, giant canyons or venezillo parvus. any thoughts on which of these (or any others) might work best?

Do they need a lot of ventilation? And if so how much? How big the air holes etc please?

Is there something I can use in place of rotting wood if I can’t get any?
