Salmon Isopods for Sale (Cubaris sp.)

No grill required.

Salmons are a Cubaris admired for their soft salmon-pink color and adorable little faces, a nice change from the usual white, gray and black. They like to hang out under leaf litter, cork bark and decaying wood, but they'll come out to explore once they're comfortable, and that warm color looks great against dark substrate.

Origin: A tropical Cubaris species native to Southeast Asia.

HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 72–79°F; supporting relative humidity around 60–80%; maintain a clear moisture gradient with roughly one-third to one-half of the substrate consistently moist and the remainder progressively drier under cover. Use low-to-moderate ventilation and deep organic substrate; avoid both complete drying and stagnant saturation.

Diet: Their primary diet should consist of decaying leaf litter and rotting hardwood. They also benefit from a quality calcium source, such as limestone, along with supplemental foods including quality isopod diets, vegetables, fruits, and protein offered in moderation.

Reproduction: Moderate.

Perfect For: Intermediate keepers, tropical bioactive enclosures, collectors, and display terrariums.

Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
