Porcellionides pruinosus "Oreo Crumble" Isopod Care Guide
Porcellionides pruinosus "Oreo Crumble" is a fast-breeding, hardy isopod known for its beautiful black and white marbled coloration. Like other pruinosus morphs, it is an excellent choice for bioactive setups and cleanup crews, especially in tropical or humid environments.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-ventilated container with a substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Include cork bark or bark pieces for cover. "Oreo Crumble" is a surface-active species that will readily explore its enclosure.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 72-80°F. "Oreo Crumble" prefers higher humidity (75-85%) with a moisture gradient—one side moist, one side slightly drier. Mist regularly to maintain humidity.
Feeding:
Feed a staple of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein helps boost breeding and overall colony health.
Behavior:
"Oreo Crumble" isopods are very fast breeders and highly active. They tolerate a wide range of conditions and are ideal for bioactive vivariums or for hobbyists wanting an attractive, efficient cleanup crew.
