"Powder Blue" Isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus) – Adults Only – Fast-Breeding Cleanup Crew for Bioactive Terrariums

The Powder Blue Isopod (Porcellionides pruinosus) is a lively, fast-moving species adored for its soft blue coloration and exceptional surface activity. Their color ranges from a gentle matte sky-blue to a subtle shimmering blue-gray, giving each individual a cool-toned, powdery appearance that stands out beautifully in any bioactive enclosure.

If you’re looking for an isopod species you can actually watch exploring your tank throughout the day, Powder Blues are one of the best. Their constant activity, gentle temperament, and quick reproduction make them ideal for both new keepers and experienced hobbyists.

Raised on Microforest soil blends and fed exclusively with our homemade Isopod Superfood, our Powder Blues arrive healthy, vivid, and ready to establish a thriving colony.

Behavior & Activity

Powder Blues are extremely surface active and are often seen scurrying across substrate, leaf litter, and enrichment pieces. If you enjoy observing your cleanup crew, this is one of the most entertaining species you can keep.

They especially love congregating in cholla wood and beneath cork bark, making those essential hides for any enclosure.

Their movement is quick and lively — perfect for reptile setups where natural foraging or “hunting” behavior is encouraged.

Colony Growth & Breeding

This species is known for very fast breeding, sometimes producing babies sooner than expected once they settle in. Powder Blues are a great choice for keepers looking to establish a reliable, self-sustaining colony.

Because they reproduce quickly, they benefit from a high-protein diet, making our Isopod Superfood an ideal staple for color, growth, and colony stability.
