Thinking about getting some isopods. How many do you get for a $15 starter culture? I can't tell if you have ten available or if that's how many you get. Also how small of a setup could I keep them in? Also are these the ones with the zebra stripes? Thanks.

I use a deli cup when i have around 15 or less , but then i put them in a bigger tank (less than or around 5 gallon) when they start to breed. (this is just generally what i do for isopods, not specifically for these ones)

$15 for 10 individuals! I would just use a shoebox sized container and let them fill it out, my success in smaller things has been minimal. These are zebra striped isopods :).

Adding a Pogonomyrmex montanus colony... A few people have asked me for this species, but I only have one extra colony so I'll throw it out there if anyone wants to offer. 

 

 

This species is one of the less widely distributed Pogonomyrmex and is restricted to a handful of mountain ranges in CA. 

 

Edit: Apologies for the poor video quality, YouTube has started compressing my uploads and I have no idea how to get around it.
