I’m looking into getting Isopods for my hermit crabs tank setup. I have three hermit crabs and they are in a long aquarium that is 4ft long (I’m not sure how many gallons because it was given to me) and I’m also looking to put the isopods in a 10 gallon aquarium. How many should I get and where? I’m thinking on getting the “Armadillidium nasatum” or the “Porcellio scaber”.

imo porcellio arent great but they have higher protein needs. armadillidium is great, all around pretty safe. pretty sure got butterflies or some other modmin here gives out pods for the price of shipping! don't know which one she has though

The cheapest ones I know of are in your backyard
Do you have any that live in your area?

I love Josh's Frogs. They are ethical and work with hermit house.
Supporting your local reptile shop is also wonderful. I supported my local indie reptile shop.
