Panda Kings are a super popular isopod amongst keepers, mostly because of their striking appearance and their wider acceptance to change unlike many other Cubaris species.
 
In the wild they live in the limestone caves of Vietnam and is a relatively new species to the hobby, in fact, it is so new that it has still not been fully classified and goes by the scientific name of Cubaris sp. (sp. means species and that it has yet to be named!).
 
Panda's love their humidity on the higher side but they're also very tolerant to change and will accept fluctuations. Temperature should be around 23C+ for these, but again, they will tolerate lower temperatures for a short period of time, especially, during the night.
 
It is advised to have a constant supply of calcium and this can be provided in several forms, cuttlefish, limestone, or sea coral calciums are recommended, with limestone being preferred
 
We find that feeding with shrimp pellets and shrimp meal plus various fresh vegetables will help your colony grow much faster, and once established they will breed quite readily. Leaf litter should also be offered.
 
Springtails are recommended to keep alongside this species to ensure mould is controlled within your set up.
