Overview

Cubaris Sp, or just Cubaris, are a varied group of isopods known for their fancy, and sheer numbers available. Some of the most iconic in the wider hobby, Cubaris offer something for everyone, be it the beginner friendly Panda Kings to the ever popular Rubber Ducky. New species continue to be discovered all the time, so if you’re looking for a little bit of excitement, Cubaris are your best bet!

Penguin like their namesake are a lovely black grey with white edges, coming from Cambodia. Another smaller species, these are hardy and a good introduction to Cubaris for beginners. They are relatively hardy, tolerant of changes and once settled are consistent breeders.

 

  • All of our isopods are captive bred. We do not sell wild caught specimens. 
  • Some isopods, which will be clearly indicated, are bred out from personally wild caught colonies. These are self produced and will be several generations in to mitigate for any wild born nasties, but please be aware these will not be suitable for use as custodians.
  • Isopods will be provided in a mix of sizes to help with the start of your colony. These will be juveniles and adults. If you receive any babies, they do not count towards the total count bought. They’re little bonuses!
  • We understand that sometimes the travel and change of environment can cause a few isopods to bite the dust. To make up for losses, we ship with a few additional counts. 
  • Our isopods are kept on a coco coir and soil mix, with access to decaying leaves, moss and charcoal. All have been kept with ample hiding spaces to mimic their natural environments. We feed them on a varied diet of decaying wood, cuttlefish bone, fish food and specifically prepared isopod supplements.
  • All isopods are shipped out with Royal Mail, either Tracked 24 or Special Delivery by 1pm as per buyers choice.
  • Only Special Delivery 1pm has our “DOA” guarantee. If you receive an order this way with DOA that reduces you to less than your purchased amount, please contact us immediately. Tracked 24 does not have this guarantee (For more information, see the full FAQ available on our contact page).
  • Shipment dates are Monday and Tuesday. If you require a specific delivery date, please contact us before you order.
