    Default i added giant orange isopods to my Azureus tank

    SO after months of cultivating my Giant orange isopods, and watching them living in their tupperware, i finally caught most of the larger ones and some of the babies and pulled up some leaf litter and put them into my azureus tank. I gave them some time to hide, and then i covered them back up. I have to say, i really miss seeing them. they are a very cool isopod, and i wish i could watch them in the tank with the frogs. they have burrowed and are out of view. Bummer..

    But the good thing is they are keeping your vivarium clean.

    i have had other isopods in the tank for a long time, but never saw them, was hoping i'd see the GO's but have not. i don't think my Azureus got the big ones. maybe a few babies. I did it when i knew they were in their hides and i was quick about getting them under the leaf litter. Plus they might be a bit intimidating for my Azureus.

    You're probably not seeing them because ISO's are nocturnal. Unless your azureus are very young juveniles, not much you can add to a tank will intimidate them. I watch mine dive into the leaf litter and come back out with adult giant oranges in their mouths. Lol
