I've had incredible success raising the tropical white isopods. I originally acquired a good sized group of them (~40 individuals). I put them in a small plastic storage container at 73F filled with a substrate mixture of cocofiber, tree fern fiber, sphagnum moss, and orchid bark. Initially I just left them, only sprinkling fish flakes occasionally, because I had heard they are slow breeders. But after about a month, I checked their container, and in digging up their substrate I found hundreds of them.
