Description

Caret Down

P. laevis is an active isopod that is an excellent isopod to add to your bioactive clean-up crew, and they are a good substitution for Giant Canyon isopods since Giant Canyon isopods are not permitted in some states.  They reproduce quickly, can tolerate a wide range of environments, are easy to keep, and they are not picky about food.  They do not get as large as Milkback or Dairy Cow isopods.  We provide all laevis with cuttlebone for calcium, and we supplemental feed them carrots, zucchini, squash, dried fish/shrimp, and fish food flakes.  Great beginner isopod.  Laevis isopods care is the same as other common isopods.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care guides and tips.

*DOES NOT SHIP TO LOUISIANA

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.

Skill level:  Beginner isopod

Humidity:  Tolerates humid and arid environments

Breeding:  Fast breeder that breeds easily
