White Isopods

Trichorhina tomentosa „White Dwarf Isopods“

Origin:

cosmopolitical, in all tropical areas.

Temperature:

18-25 °C

Size:

up to 5 mm

Social behaviour:

They can always be seen.

Breeding: 

Very uncomplicated and a short development time of only 3 months.

Specials:

Trichorhina tomentosa is mostly used as a clean up crew. They live perfectly in damp terrariums with a high humidity and are really good at cleaning up all rests. Since this kind is really tiny it’s hard to watch them in a full terrarium.

Tipp: Perfect to keep along with dendorbates since the tanks usually have the perfect conditions for white isopods, too. They also make great feeding animals for frogs.
