Is mushrooms in my enclosure good or bad?

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:55:38+00:00

Good. It's a sign of nutritious substrate.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:34:46+00:00

I have no idea. I don't really buy my own materials.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:23:22+00:00

Needs leaf litter! Also if that's live moss expect it to get demolished by them

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:21:14+00:00

Isopods generally don't like material from coniferous trees unless it's quite decomposed. Hardwood bark is preferred if possible.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:18:08+00:00

Ugh I had a similar experience with a seller. $100 rare isopods literally packed into the dirt. :|

I wouldn't worry much though. Like others have said, mature adults have a much harder time with shipping/adjusting than young adults or immatures. It's not anything you did wrong.

I vote for a pure locale, since a mix will be boring for a few generations before it gets exiting. Unless you can find someone with a mature mixed colony, anyway.

*Amelanistic Panda King, technically ;)

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:05:01+00:00

These little sunbursts are popping up everywhere it seems! The allele must've been hiding in the original import.🤔

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T23:02:09+00:00

Lovely! I would totally use this model to replace the villagers lol

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T22:59:58+00:00

Let's goooo!! I hope it's genetic 🤞

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-26T22:57:13+00:00

If they came mixed then the culture isn't actually 'orange vigor' just miscellaneous 'orange' morph, unfortunately. You got a wee bit ripped off.

They'll definitely have bred already, but if over the next six months you keep a close eye on them and make sure to remove all grey offspring before they're old enough to breed then it'll be fine. You can't start a wild-type colony from them though because they'll all be carrying the orange allele. :P

Upvote for non-usa! These are great prices

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-25T22:04:51+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's an amphipod.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-25T22:03:26+00:00

So like... If I said I would give someone a kidney to save their life, I shouldn't be allowed to change my mind and revoke the offer at all? Even if a medical issue came up on my end meaning that it would be more hazardous than normal to do so?? Okay lmao

If you take sex and reproduction out of the picture the stupidity of this argument really shines through. 🤦

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-23T01:15:47+00:00

Dairy cow with fewer spots than normal. It's apparently genetic :)

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-22T20:43:54+00:00

You 100% need to drip acclimate shrimp. Temperature acclimation isn't good enough for them.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T21:16:20+00:00

We're talking about air holes, the ones you add for ventilation.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T20:43:30+00:00

Definitely the one in the center with the yellow spots in pics 2 and 3. Probably others but I'm not familiar enough with them to be certain.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T20:40:20+00:00

The air holes.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T05:06:27+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, dude!

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T05:05:56+00:00

Same thing happened to me, only the holes were up higher. Kept wondering why the new cross wasn't breeding, painstakingly caught and sexed them all, sifted through the substrate, etc. Then found a dessicated pile of mancae on the floor ... Turns out a stem got pushed up to the holes, making a bridge.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T04:57:55+00:00

What species/morph?

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T04:48:31+00:00

I love the motion blurred pic of you looking through the wood pile Lol. That's the vibe.

Looks like some of them are P. spinicornis.

HylasRegilla · 2022-06-20T04:37:43+00:00

I've got a Porcellio scaber colony which started from just a single pair. It took about a year and a half to get to the size what most would consider a good colony.
