I can't use a cute chihuahua sized one as it requires more careful care, and would loose random appendages every moult next to iso, i need less cute pet, and more bug, the container is very big and has deep substrate, so small ones won't become protein suplement, does anyone know any catch phrases i could use to ease my search? you know- how when looking for bloodworms sometimes you need to look next to wands rather than pet supplies

i'm not really confident if i should collect them from the outside as i'd rather not create an expensive, heavy metal laced, mite farm

any i will specify, im talking about Polish garden tiny ones, not Brazilian garden tiny ones

and yes, i am aware that "the small garden ones" are not a single species

I need do make a small biology research paper for school, and i thought to myself, since iso community is so unregulated, i could settle a debate, maybe even more than 1.

in communities like this the source is usually "i pulled it out of my ass but everyone does it tho"

a lot of people discuss which calcium source is the best or useful, or whatever, i thought i could use those fast breeding parthenogenesis mfs for that purpose, it's easier to buy these gals than it is to get rid of them, so i would not be surprised if someone has a forgotten shoe box in their drawer with 15 thousand of them just sitting there.

it's not uncommon to give overcrowded isopods away for free, and we are talkin' tomentosa rn, they are overcrowded by definition,

i have 20 in my collection, if i wait long enough i'll have 20 hundred, but i don't have enough time, and to do anything relating to biology, if i want meaningful results in the time frame i got, i need them yesterday if i want any meaningful results.

i live in northern poland, in the Tricity area (for those outside of poland it's an agglomeration name, around Gdańsk/danzig)

any kind souls around here with an excess of Trichorhina tomentosa around here? i can pick them up myself, or pay for shipping if it's not too ludicrous, considering how small they are, a standard size package filled with them would already be more than enough, so i would especially appreciate people who REALLY have a lot

i probably need like a few hundred

a decent study should have a bunch of trials, and also be repeated twice in its entirety, so it's not to out there to have like 10 containers per calcium source, with 20 iso each, with a repetition, that's be 10x20x5x2=2000 iso assuming i don't reuse them for the second trial and use 4 sources, beggars can't be choosers tho, so i can try to reduce the amount of iso, sources, and containers to lower the amount, but less=worse study

btw, the numbers above are nothing, you thought 3 containers and a control is a lot? rookie numbers, even what i said are rookie numbers compared to what a decent study demands, i swear to god, the things those statistics folks demand haunt me in my dreams.

i'll ask some university of danzig folks how bare bones can i make it later

thanks!

(in case someone doesn't know, male hoffs pack longer spike with a thicker shaft than females) i like to call it Phenotype Parameter- or P.P. in short, it's a very useful parentage predictor (or p.p. in short) when breeding, too bad other iso aren't so ostentations with their sex, would make life easier

It's 300elo chess, so he managed to blunder and give me 2 queens, while having a rook on the back rank
i really like the 1st rank queen, very poetic

(these babies are slightly chomkier, but the ruler is Closer to the camera) btw remember, size matters too

that's some hooded beak right there

is there any hope left for me?

i have an unknown desire to make a terrarium moving with colourful land shrimp

ps yes i know i can google shit, but for me it works best to sieve good advice from bullshit by also poking around people with experience
