I think all of the parasitic ones are aquatic ones that are parasites on fish. I use all kinds of the terrestrial isopods for food and clean up in vivariums. The dwarf ones are good for dart frogs, small frogs, and small salamanders. The larger ones are good for larger frogs and larger salamanders. I also use the larger ones for aquatic salamander food. About the only thing I feed the giant canyon ones to are my Laotriton laoensis.
