Manuel_P Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi today I got a new package with Isopods, Porcellio expansus and P. bolivari I was really happy to finally get these two species. I've got almost 20 of each, so that should be a good start. Now I hope they will breed well. juvenile Porcellio expansus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel_P Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks guys! I love them too, the bolivare are absolutely massive! But apparently the P. expansus can get even bigger, at least old males. I was told that their uropods alone can reach about 1.5cm in lenght. Also, their colors will get more intense as they age. But I only got smaller ones for not. Here is one of the P. bolivari males Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
