Isopods....

[Scott C.]

Hello Raihana,
Although I am currently not using isopods with the T's, I have before, and as long as their numbers are kept somewhat in check you will love the benefits of having them in with your gigas. There has been a few anecdotal reports of population exposions resulting in attacks on molting T's, but they come in the face of overwhelming quantities of success stories........ As long as the T is large enough to not eat the isopods you should have no problems....... The only reason I have none in my cages at this time is because I have recently rehoused my collection, and am in search of sufficient numbers of the isopods to get them started in the new set ups...... For a large archive of info regarding T's+isopods check out arachnoboards.com ...... Good luck with your gigas.
Cheers,
Scott

I have African giant black millipedes and have thought of getting some isopods to share their habitat -- either collecting my own or getting some from a biological supply company. I wasn't even aware tropical species were available. What are they like? Where would I get them? It'd be fun to have an "exotic" species in with my pedes!

there is a Thailand Giant Pill Bug that gets around 2 inches long.

but, from what i have read, they (along with the local smaller variety) are generally hard to keep and hard to breed.

springtails dont get big right? and is there any way to keep them from getting extremly overpopulated? If there are alot will they cause problems with the tank and my tree frogs?

Im sure your tree frogs will snack on them. I have some in my dart frog tank. They love them
