Product Description:
Cylisticus convexus is a robust and very tolerant isopod (woodlouse), often used as a clean-up crew in bioactive terrariums. It helps consume organic waste (dead leaves, decaying wood, food scraps) and maintain a healthier substrate. It is also an excellent species to start a culture with, as it adapts well to various conditions as long as there is a good moisture gradient.
Quantity: 15

Highlights:
Isopod very robust and easy to maintain
Excellent clean-up crew : helps break down leaves/wood/waste
