Red Tiger Stripes
A beautiful Cubaris species from Thailand that enjoys being pampered!
Even though they're a smaller species, they do have high calcium needs & we recommend always keeping a cuttle bone (or two) in their enclosure.
Originally from the limestone caves of Thailand, this is quickly becoming one of our favourite fancy/pet isopods!
Though they're probably not the best beginner species, with a properly setup enclosure & a little pampering, this Cubaris species will thrive.
A varied diet with decaying wood, calcium, waste, vegetables and protein, (we use shrimp food, quality fish flakes, freshly killed crickets/mealworms, as well as Repashy's Bug Burger & Grubs N Fruit) and some damp moss, has been working really well for us so far.
These isopods will definitely appreciate a couple inches of substrate, and some cave-like "hides".. curved cork bark works perfectly, but egg carton will work too.
