We will update this description as we observe more.
Origins: It is believed these are morphs of the Red Pak Chong, originating from China.
Habitat: They seem to appreciate a warm (72-78°F) medium-high humidity (~30% moist side) while maintaining ventilation. Observations indicate they prefer hiding under lots of leaf litter.
Food: As with most isopod species their main source of diet should be lots of leaf litter and decaying wood. Try supplementing with organic vegetables high in carotenoids (such as pumpkin, carrot, corn, sweet peppers) and dried shrimp. Carotenoids are yellow, orange, and red pigments that are produced by certain plants and algae. Ensure plenty of calcium is available such as limestone, calcium carbonate, oyster shells, egg shells, etc.
Reproduction: Slow reproduction (keeping this a rare breed)
