Cubaris murina "Papaya" Isopod Care Guide

Cubaris murina "Papaya" is a beautiful morph of Cubaris murina, known for its soft peach to pink-orange coloration. Like other murina morphs, it is hardy, adaptable, and breeds quickly—making it an excellent choice for both beginner Cubaris keepers and bioactive setups.

Enclosure:
Provide a well-sealed container with adjustable ventilation to maintain high humidity. Use a deep substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and lots of leaf litter. Add plenty of tight hides such as cork bark, clay pieces, and stacked bark—murina species thrive when they feel secure.

Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 72-78°F. "Papaya" prefers high humidity (80-90%) with minimal to no dry areas. Mist regularly to maintain consistent moisture without oversaturating the substrate.

Feeding:
Feed a base of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and occasional fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein boosts breeding and supports strong coloration.

Behavior:
"Papaya" isopods are more surface-active than many Cubaris species and are quick to establish. They breed rapidly under proper conditions and tolerate a wide range of environments, making them great for both display and functional bioactive enclosures.
