I have fallen in love with isopods!

I love watching things grow.  I originally got some isopods out of curiosity and then I became fascinated with the variety of species.  I find that different species breed better, move faster, prefer to burrow, prefer crevices in wood. 

Today, I finally felt that I had good colony sizes that I did a mass seeding to my gecko tanks.  I am looking forward to seeing how the different species fare.

Isopod feeding response to bee pollen

I have been reading and learning about isopods.  I have seen a few feeding suggestions.  I am trying out some new foods and monitoring for their feeding response.

Experiment #1: Bee pollen

They had a great feeding response and cleared it out in less than 30 minutes.
