White Ducky (Cubaris sp.)
Cubaris sp. "White Ducky" Isopod Care Guide
Cubaris sp. "White Ducky" is a rare and highly collectible morph of Cubaris sp. in the famous "Rubber Ducky" group, prized for its pale white or creamy coloration and signature "duck face." It is an advanced display species requiring stable, high-humidity care.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-sealed container with adjustable ventilation. Use a deep, moisture-retentive substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Include many tight hides—cork bark, clay caves, and stacked bark. This species appreciates very secure, undisturbed environments.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 72-78°F. "White Ducky" requires high humidity (85-90%) with minimal to no dry areas. Mist regularly to maintain stable moisture, and avoid sharp fluctuations.
Feeding:
Feed a base of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with high-quality isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and occasional fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein is crucial to support slow growth and breeding.
Behavior:
"White Ducky" isopods are shy, slow breeders, and sensitive to environmental changes. They do best in a dedicated display colony where conditions remain stable. A stunning and highly prized species for serious collectors.
