Frogfather Advice and News

Create the ultimate bioactive vivarium with top-end isopods and exotic dart frogs, combining stunning aesthetics with a thriving self-sustaining ecosystem. High-value isopods like Rubber Ducky (Cubaris sp. Rubber Ducky), Ember Bee (Merulanella sp. ‘Ember Bee’), and Panda King Isopods (Cubaris sp. Panda King’) not only enhance your setup with their striking colours but also play a crucial role in breaking down waste, maintaining substrate health, and supporting a balanced microfauna system.

Pairing rare isopods with vibrant dart frogs such as Dendrobates tinctorius, Ranitomeya species, and Phyllobates terribilis can create an unparalleled natural display while mimicking their tropical rainforest habitats. Our selection of high-end isopods and frogs ensures that you get species that thrive together, with aligned humidity and temperature needs.

Explore our premium range of isopods and dart frogs, along with the essential bioactive supplies, including specialist substrates, tropical plants, and clean-up crew additions, to build the perfect environment.

How to Feed Isopods for Faster Growth and Reproduction (Complete Guide)

Are your isopods just… surviving instead of thriving?
We’ve been breeding isopods for years and trust us — the secret to explosive colony growth isn’t just leaf litter. It’s the right diet, calcium for moulting, and moisture stability (especially for the tiny mancae).

We’ve spent years testing mixes with our own frogs, lizards and isopods — and finally created a lab-produced, human-grade blend that gives dwarf whites everything they need to breed like crazy.

If you’re struggling with slow reproduction, stalled cultures or random die-offs — this article is for you.
