How to keep White Shark isopods
- Stable humidity is key: avoid letting the whole tub dry out.
- Strong ventilation without draughts.
- Best for keepers with some Cubaris experience.
- Feed leaf litter and decaying hardwood as a staple, with cuttlebone for calcium and a small pinch of protein (fish flakes or dried shrimp) once a week.
- Use a tub with small vents and deep organic substrate (topsoil, coco fibre, leaf litter), with cork bark for hides.
