    A great arthropoda to help eat and break down the mold in there enclosure's are springtails, which are able to live in bioactive and communal enclosure, by adding these they should help clean up and get rid of the mold which comes from the high humidity. This should make life easier 😄

    We have pandas and wild isopods. We built terrariums for them together. We get the little glass houses off Amazon. The kids love it! Recently I sprinkled some tiny leaf seeds for the aquariums across one of the terrariums. Took a week but they sprouted. All the wild ones we have are mixed species from the northeastern united states from our yard, hikes, and park trips. Really special to all of us.

    If the peach isopods are A. Nasutum try giving them some leaf litter and veggie scraps. I find that my armadillidium species like squash more than anything. Also be careful with the dwarf whites they have been known to teleport into other cultures lol.

    I keep and breed isopods. I'm about to start keeping millipedes too so I joined fb groups for millipede keepers and was told you cannot keep isopods with millipedes because they will eat their soft bodies during your millipedes molt and kill them so now I'm trying to find information on if there's a kind of isopod that I CAN keep with my millipedes since it will be a bioactive 75 gallon tank with plants, drainage layer, all of that.. so I feel like keeping isopods in it would be beneficial instead of having just the springtails.. anyone have any knowledge on this?

    So that looks moldy food. If the food your giving is molding stop feeding them, they do not need it. I to love Isopods and have few species and subspecies. Also to prevent mold, I suggest using spring tails, they eat mold.
