Armadillidium gestroi

Armadillidium gestroi

If you like isopods that bring both personality and colour to the table, gestroi is a solid pick. Their bright yellow markings really stand out, and they’re just as tough as they are good-looking. These medium-sized isopods are active little workers in bioactive setups, munching away on leaf litter while looking great doing it. They’re also very forgiving to keep, so whether you’re brand new to isopods or already knee-deep in the hobby, gestroi fits right in.
