Trichorhina tomentosa

Dwarf White Isopods

Tiny soil-dwelling cleaners ideal for planted bioactive jars.

Dwarf whites stay small and work through the upper substrate. They are less visually showy than dairy cows but excellent in planted terrariums.

Diet: Fine leaf litter, detritus, light supplemental foods

Care tips

  • Add with springtails for a full micro crew.
  • Keep leaf litter fine and soft.
  • Avoid digging the substrate constantly.

Cautions

  • Hard to spot — do not assume failure too quickly.
