mason Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I currently have an enormous colony of gromphadorhina portentosa with around 80-100 individuals, as you could think there are many giant piles of their feces and I mean just straight piles of it since they gather up and crowd with each other. Would powder orange isopods be the way to go to help get rid of some of this without having to scoop it out all the time? I've heard about them overpopulation but if I control it properly with they do well together? I regularly clean out their feces and any leftover exo skeletons monthly, it would also be a good chance to keep two species in one enclosure without having to make more enclosures they will also be provided with the heat. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I usually find the isopods die out in hisser colonies but the hissers like it very dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted June 1, 2023 Author Share Posted June 1, 2023 good to know is this for isopods in general or are there some isopods that can tollerate hisser conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhjjr Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I forgot about this being an issue. At one time I had a 55 gallon aquarium filled with portentosa. I unfortunately let the waste build up get out of hand. Yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
