Merulanella sp. ‘Blister’ X ‘Tricolor’ mix is exactly what the name suggests: a mix of colors of those two Merulanella isopods. The fascinating thing about this, is that new interesting color combinations may occur (like the isopod on the right on the photo above). And that means that you could create your own color variety! 😍 Just like the rest of the Merulanella isopods, this variety also has vibrant colors and an equally vibrant personality! Surely it’s not a beginner isopod, but when one learns a few things about them, then, keeping and breeding those Merulanella isopods in captivity is possible.

Merulanella sp. ‘Blister’ X ‘Tricolor’ mix, isopod care
Size: adults may reach a length of 20 mm.
Activity: both day and night active; it’s an active isopod.
Terrarium: needs to be escape-proof, since Merulanella isopods – especially the young and mancae can climb vertically on plastic, like most roaches do. I keep them wetter – like the Cubaris isopods – with a layered setup of decaying leaves, moss, pieces of twigs with lichen and on top cork bark or tree bark. Check out also our premium substrate.
Temperature: 19 – 26°C; they prefer it a bit cooler.
Humidity: 60 – 75%; maintain by spraying periodically.
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, forest moss, lichen, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, kinshi, molting of invertebrates and reptiles. And some protein, like gammarus shrimps. Also don’t forget a calcium source (cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy.
Foods they don’t eat: bee pollen.
Difficulty: challenging to moderate.
Reproduction rate: moderate.
Growth rate: normal to slow.
