Ardentiella sp. ‘Black Hole’ with its jet-black glossy color, is the most stunning black hole I have seen! 😍 They have a similar shape and size to the Ardentiella sp. ‘Ember Bee’, therefore these are large isopods. Just like the rest of the Ardentiella isopods, this variety has an equally vibrant personality! Surely it’s not a beginner isopod, but when one learns a few things about them, then, keeping and breeding Ardentiella sp. ‘Black Hole’ isopods in captivity is possible.

Ardentiella sp. ‘Black Hole’, isopod care
Size: adults may reach a length of 23 mm.
Activity: both day and night active; it’s an active isopod.
Terrarium: needs to be escape-proof, since Ardentiella 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.
