The Orange Cream isopods arrived healthy and started breaking down waste in my bioactive tank within a week. They seem to be active and eating the vegetable scraps I offer. The humidity and temperature in my tank are within the recommended range, and the substrate is working well with them.

I’ve had isopods before, but these are more active and seem to clean up waste more efficiently. I feed them carrot and cucumber pieces daily. They don’t seem to harm anything and are a great addition to my tank.

After setting up my bioactive habitat with the recommended substrate, the isopods quickly began processing organic matter. I noticed less waste buildup and the tank feels more balanced now. Easy to care for and very effective.
