Exuvium Isopods

Dried fish are available for isopods, snails, roaches and other invertebrates.

Fish Dried – Natural Protein & Calcium Booster

Provide your cleanup crews, isopods, and roaches with a nutrient-rich, 100% natural superfood. These whole, gently sun- or air-dried small fish (typically Baltic sprat or smelt) are packed with essential animal protein, healthy fatty acids, and bioavailable calcium to support healthy breeding, vigorous growth, and successful molting.

Why Feed Whole Dried Fish to Your Inverts?

• High Animal Protein: Protein-hungry isopod species (such as Porcellio laevis, Porcellionides pruinosus, Porcellio scaber, and all of my Cubaris spp. are going crazy for it! Supplying adequate protein helps prevent cannibalism, gravid female stress, and nibbling on fresh molts.
• Natural Calcium & Minerals: Because the fish are dried whole—complete with soft bones, scales, and organs—they provide an easily accessible source of organic calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals essential for building strong exoskeletons.
• Ideal for Roaches & Hermit Crabs: Feeder and display roaches (such as Dubia, Madagascar Hissers, and Halloween Hissers) readily strip whole fish down to nothing, boosting the nutritional value of your colony before feeding them off to reptiles.
• 100% Natural & Additive-Free: Pure, single-ingredient forage fish. No salt additives, preservatives, artificial flavorings, or fillers.

Ideal For:

• Isopods: Highly recommended as a supplementary protein treat for all Porcellio, Armadillidium, and Cubaris species.
• Roaches: Excellent protein boost for Blaptica dubia, Gromphadorhina spp., and other pet or feeder cockroaches.
• Land Hermit Crabs & Snails: A classic staple for mineral and protein enrichment.
• Millipedes: While millipedes primarily feed on decaying hardwood and leaf litter, many species appreciate occasional animal protein during breeding and active growth phases.

Feeding Instructions & Care Tips:

1. Portion Size: Feed 1 fish per colony (or break into smaller pieces for smaller tubs) once or twice a week.
2. Placement: Place the dried fish in the dry/ventilation zone of your enclosure or in a small feeding dish to minimize mold growth.
3. Clean Up: Remove any uneaten portions after 24–48 hours if high humidity causes mold or strong odor, then adjust the portion size for the next feeding.
4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed bag or airtight container to maintain freshness.
