Orange Kois

Porcellio scaber “Orange Koi”

Porcellio scaber “Orange Koi” is a medium-sized isopod species named for its striking coloration, resembling the patterns of koi fish. With orange being the dominant color, these isopods are highly sought after for their vibrant appearance and ease of care. They thrive in arid and temperate environments, though they may struggle in tropical conditions. Known for their ability to play dead when disturbed, they are adaptable and breed at a moderate rate, often preferring the underside of bark for shelter.
