Wooooooo

[@bobthedestroyer6205]

Ok, so since there are several variants of the same species, that means they can still breed with one another yes?

[@themadaquarist]

Theoretically yes, some may be geographical variants. Some may very well be distinct species if more academic work were to be done

Hi Chris, I so love the Armadillidium Klugii Montenegro Isopod. I have Armadillidium Isopods, I would love to obtain the Montenegro ones. I live in Australia. We don't seem to have much variety here as you do over there, only Armadillidium, Porcellionides Pruinosus, and a Cubaris type. Do you know of anyone I could get the Montenegro Isopods from? It is quite disappointing that we really don't have much to choose from here. Anyway, I love what you do and you have so many beautiful ones. Thanks so much for sharing your collection with us all. 😊

I just set up my first enclosure for these isopods. They are so cute and I hope they do well. Its hard not constantly checking on them I worry that they arent happy lol. But just gotta wait and see.

I accidently killed mine. 🤦😭😢 They were doing so good in numbers in short amount of time... 🙏 r.i.p. I.. Thought I watered them, turned out I didn't and they dehydrated ...I found out I am pregnant and had major "brain fog" type of deal going on. I'm going to try again when I'm ready... But damn... That made me sad.. Still sad.

[@themadaquarist]

Very sorry to here that. I’ve lost cultures to over the years

@@themadaquarist I understand its my first time, but damn. Well .... Kind of makes me feel better knowing that even you have had this happen... But *le sigh* Thank you for your reassurance!

I’ve lost expansus colonies three times and they sure weren’t cheap! Keep Plugging away till we have success!

[@oceandizzle7]

@@themadaquarist Yes! Very pricey! Which colonies have you lost if I can ask that?

[@themadaquarist]

Only expansus and one colony of both spatulatus and flavomarginatus.

Thank you very much

I love your video what are you filming with

[@themadaquarist]

More than likely my phone lol, I do however have a few other camera. I have a bug Nikon Z with a 65 and a 105 macro as well as a Sony camera but for the most part the phone is quick and easy

[@jacquelynbritz5062]

@@themadaquarist wow incredible good quality what phone do you have I'm in love with how good your videos are

WELL! I have the king of clowns, A. werneri (Greater Clown) and I kinda love them. All the clowns, like Porcellio species, seem to do great in Colorado weather. A. klugii are very cute. I think the clowns are just darling. What cuties.

[@themadaquarist]

Thanks for watching

[@MIsopods]

Great video. Specifically for me, I had not heard about congregation in the hydration station as you mentioned. I am not experienced that, but now at least I know what it means if I do! I am relatively new to this, but have been researching and watching videos for several months now, and haven't heard of this. Thank you again!

[@themadaquarist]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MarcusRefusius]

I recently started keeping Crested Geckos. Of course the Bioactive thing comes with. I started a culture of Dairy Cows and am hooked. Bring in the Clowns. Cheers
