Snow Bee (Cubaris sp.)
Cubaris sp. "Snow Bee" Isopod Care Guide
Cubaris sp. "Snow Bee" is a gorgeous, sought-after species known for its frosty white coloration paired with soft yellow accents. Like most Cubaris, "Snow Bee" thrives in a carefully maintained, stable environment and makes a stunning display species for advanced keepers.
Enclosure:
Use a well-sealed container with adjustable ventilation. Provide a deep, moisture-retentive substrate (flake soil, sphagnum moss, and leaf litter), along with plenty of tight, secure hides—such as cork bark, clay pieces, and stacked bark. They appreciate dark, stable conditions.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 72-78°F. "Snow Bee" requires high humidity (80-90%) with minimal to no dry areas. Regular misting is key—keep humidity steady without making the substrate soggy.
Feeding:
Provide a staple of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with high-quality isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and small amounts of vegetables or fruit. Protein-rich supplements help promote vibrant coloration and healthy reproduction.
Behavior:
"Snow Bee" isopods can be shy and slow to start but will settle and breed well in a consistent environment. They are best suited for display colonies and experienced keepers who can provide the stable conditions they require.
