Re: My Isopods!
CrabbyCakes, how often do you change out their food ( potatoes, carrots, etc). I've had some potatoes in the tank for the Isopods for about 3 days now ( mini potatoes). I've seen the guys munching on them. Today they r still eating at them but the slices are looking old. Change them out or leave them? Can they actually eat the whole thing ?!

I never take any food out. The isopods will eat it all.Kermie16 wrote:CrabbyCakes, how often do you change out their food ( potatoes, carrots, etc).

Re: My Isopods!
From what I have read the LIKE rotting things. I take the food out after about two days because I have the nose of a bloodhound.

One pro is they will eat the mites! But, I can't deal with mold or decay. We all have our limits.

Re: My Isopods!
I am not sure what exactly they are. I found them in my yard. This far I have had one round of babies. Hopefully they will get larger soon and have some babies so I can put some in my tank. I am not really sure when I should move some over. Playing this one by ear I guess.
