I've tried searching the forum for this, read every thread that seemed relevant but still have questions.
Does anyone use Isopods other than dwarf whites or dwarf purple as a cleanup crew?
I keep 20 (or so) types of Isopods, I'm contemplating using some different kinds in frog tanks, ones I'm likeliest to try:
Armadillidium klugii "Montenegro": stay fairly small (1/2"), breed fairly quickly (but not so quickly they'll be a nuisance in my experience), fairly active during the day (meaning they could become tasty snacks for the frogs)
Armadillidium versicolor: get to about 1/3" in size, but breed fairly slowly and never really surface during the day, which could be a good thing but means I won't see them do their work
All my Porcelliio species are likely to get too big and are probably too prolific to put in with frogs.
Thoughts?
