They may not be the first animal you'd expect to find in this community, but the rubber ducky isopods in SerpaDesign's new video definitely made me say "awww."

"...and that's why most people have multiple setups."

Not sure how to break it to him, but actually no, the number of slater tubs most people have in their house is zero.

Not that they aren't cool and all, but that's one hella niche hobby you got there, friendo.

I generally understand that to mean "most people within the hobby"

In context I belive this is correct.

Also speaking from personal experience, yes, if you start collecting isopods you end up with a wall of containers. We used to live in a basement where we could have tanks to our hearts content and alongside 1500 gallons of aquariums we had 8 tubs for isopods if memory serves me correctly.

I guess he meant as in people who already are into keeping them as pets have multiple setups.

in their house

Don't assume that. You have no idea how many unintentional wonderful isopod habitats exist on your property. Rather than building a terrarium, you can encourage them to come to your garden. [email protected]
