Thank you so much, just published my first video in a while!

Very well done video! Just regarding the sterilization of substrate, that can heavily depend on your area of the world and even the makeup of your forests. Once you imported some Steatoda eggs or aggressive mold for example, you'll lose a colony extremely fast. That's why lots of people do it preemptively. But you're absolutely right. It also kills a lot of beneficial organisms and isn't worth doing in most cases.

That is true, as I said we don't have anything harmful here in Sweden, but I might have done differently if I lived in another part of the world. I never use substrate the isopods are shipped in and I always quarantine. This is what I do but It all comes down to what works best for each and everyone individually 😊 Thank you for your comment!

Just started my first colony. Orange cream. I’m super excited.

Spectacular!!! We want more!!! 😁

They do be! Unfortunately It was a long time ago since I had my last aquarium, but one day again maybe I'll start it up again ☺️

Thanks for the excellent guide. I like your substrate mix and it seems like something I could mostly make myself. Your macro shots are amazing too

Thank you for your kind words❤ Yes, it's easily done at home, try it out!

Really enjoyed seeing your isopods… I have only been keeping them for a few months now, but really like caring for them and watching them… I have found that mine LOVE Shagbark Hickory leaves, as they voraciously consume them way faster than any other type! Please keep producing more videos… thank you!

Really really great Video :D thanks for Sharing. I will try the naturalistic approach in some of my boxes 😊

I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻

Incredible footage in this video and great information. This might be my summer project.

I came for the isopod and i found the perfect girl! Beauty +Isopods =❤ Thanks for the information, you have very pretty voice 😊

I'm only getting these guys to keep in another creatures vivarium (bioactive), but the isopods deserve the best lives too! so I'm researching a bit B)

Good video :) It looks like we do exactly the same thing with isopods. I also collect from the woods and put them directly in with the pods.

Very informative! i loved all the cute macro footage playing as you explained.

Awesome beginners guide and wonderful shots! I just recently got into the hobby myself after researching for a couple of weeks - and you summed everything up perfectly! I love the organic approach, I think you you convinced me to try it out like this myself :)

​@Spodas and Podas haha yeah the diary cows have a massive colony. Saw that part and literally said 'oh my god' outloud. Do you sell starter colonies of your isopods? You definitely could! Looking forward to more videos. 😊

​@@Maximilian5268 Haha yeah that is my oldest colony so they have really gotten up to a impressive number! I do actually, but only within Sweden at the moment. I also sell sometimes at expos 😊 Thank you, I have many ideas for videos so more will come in the future!

Hi, I wanted to ask what kind of camera / macro recording hardware you use to record your isopods. I would also like to record isopods 🙂
