Cubaris sp "Red Panda King" – Captive-Bred

Cubaris sp. "Red Panda King" is a very striking mutation of the well-known Panda King, displaying a crisp white base colouration with bold red to orange banded segments. Though relatively small compared to some Cubaris, their vivid contrast makes them stand out in any collection.

This species is hardy, very easy to keep, and an exceptionally fast breeder—perfect for anyone looking to establish a thriving colony. While juveniles can be shy at first, they become increasingly active and bold as the colony grows, offering a rewarding and engaging experience for keepers!

Care Information

• Size: Juveniles/mixed sizes
• Diet: Rotting hardwood, leaf litter (oak, beech, maple, chestnut), and lichen form the staple diet. Supplement regularly with calcium (cuttlefish bone, limestone, or powdered calcium carbonate) and occasional protein-rich treats (e.g. fish flakes, shrimp pellets, vegetables such as squash, carrot, or sweet potato).
• Temperature: 20–26 °C. Room temperature is usually fine
• Humidity: 80–90%. Maintain a moist/dry gradient: one side humid with moss or damp substrate, the other drier. Mist lightly or use a dropper every week to maintain stability without waterlogging.
• Ventilation: Provide good cross-ventilation to prevent stagnation, while keeping humidity stable.
• Substrate: Substrate minimum ~5cm deep mix, organic soil, flake soil, rotting wood, sphagnum moss, and leaf litter. This species likes to dig. Add cork bark and hardwood pieces for shelter.
• Enclosure: 3L Braplast tub or larger. For growing colonies 5L and 11L tubs may be more suitable.

Isopods are shipped securely in ventilated tubs with damp moss for safe travel.

Note: If you are interested in larger quantities than those listed, please get in contact.
