Rgrant Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Have a friend who says Red Edge and Red Skirt are the same. When I looked it up, one site states both are Cubaris and another Red Edge are Cubaris sp. and the Red Skirt shown Porcellio scaber? Just a little confused here. What is correct?

For nearly all intents and purposes, the "Red Skirt" and "Red Edge" isopods are both referring to the same Cubaris species. I have not seen the Porcellio scaber "Red Skirt" circulated around really at all in the hobby yet, so 99% of what you see under that name should be Cubaris. Always best to ask for pics/species confirmation either way if you're trying to acquire some though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgrant Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thank you! It's what I wanted to hear (since I already have them!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The red edge seem to be slow breeding compared to other cubaris like the duckies. My colony is a year older than the ducky colony and I started with 8 and I maybe have 100 but started with 5 ducky and have 500. Do yours seem to reproduce well?
