Updates on our latest breeding forms.<\/h2>\n\n
\n
\n

Isopods are now offered in a wide variety of breeding colors and patterns, so-called color morphs (morph = shape). The selection of beautifully colored, special or rare specimens is constantly increasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our breeding stock also contains such mutations, which I will report on regularly on this page. It is important to me to inform you about everything from the discovery of a new color morph to breeding and selection. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

We dedicate part of our daily work to our Isopod color morphs. We distinguish between the naturally occurring mutations and the so-called designer morphs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While albinos, orange, caramel, dalmatian or high yellow, for example, were all discovered at some point in the wild or in domestic breeding and are “purebred” at the same time, designer morphs are combinations of two or more natural mutations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
