I have an Isopod culture that I use for cleanup in my P. grandis vivarium. I'm wondering if this culture is going to become toxic and crash. Maybe I should start a new one while everything is going well. Anybody growing isopods?

It's always good to have a backup of anything alive in your care.

Yes, they're sometimes called pill bugs or woodlice. They are very useful along with springtails in a vivarium to eat animal waste and uneaten food. Without a cleanup crew a vivarium will begin to smell. Some people make a hobby of raising the different varieties, white, blue, cow, clown, and orange are some that I've seen. I raise Powder Orange and dump half of the culture into the Rain Forest viv every few months to replace what the Geckos eat.
