Live White Dwarf Isopods

A simple way to keep bioactive setups clean and balanced.

This white dwarf isopod culture (Trichorhina tomentosa) is supplied in a cup containing 10 live isopods, ready to introduce directly into moist substrate. White dwarf isopods live within the soil, where they feed on decaying plant matter and organic waste, helping reduce mold and maintain a healthy substrate layer.

They establish easily in humid environments and reproduce on their own once settled. Due to their small size, white dwarf isopods are ideal for planted terrariums and vivariums where a discreet clean-up crew is preferred. They may also be consumed by small species such as Dart Frogs as part of a natural bioactive system.

White dwarf isopods adapt well to stable, humid conditions and continue working within the substrate over time, supporting long-term enclosure cleanliness.
