Cubaris sp. "Pak Chong "Colour Mix"

Cubaris sp. "Pak Chong Colour Mix" — a stunning tropical isopod from Thailand. These moderately hardy invertebrates can roll into a protective ball when threatened, making them fascinating to observe.

Maintain temperatures between 22–26°C with humidity levels of 60–80% using a moisture gradient. House them in a well-ventilated container with 7–10 cm of nutrient-rich substrate combining coconut fibre, decaying wood, and leaf litter. Provide hiding spots with bark pieces or cork tubes.

Feed a varied diet of decaying leaves, white rotting wood, and vegetables such as carrot or squash. Supplement with protein a couple of times weekly and always offer a calcium source like cuttlefish bone.

Ideal for intermediate keepers, Pak Chong isopods make an excellent introduction to more advanced Cubaris species.

Colour Mix / Variability: The standard Pak Chong line is naturally quite variable in its high-red or peachy expression. Breeders often sort through these natural variable batches to isolate intense pinks, oranges, and dark contrasts. Our Colour Mix selection captures this natural diversity, offering specimens ranging from vibrant peachy tones to deep red hues within a single cohort. This variability makes each individual visually distinct, adding visual interest to any collection while maintaining the hardy, beginner-friendly care requirements the Pak Chong line is known for.

Shipped as Juveniles, mixed.
