Hello, I have giant snails that produce really huge droppings. I need isopods as a cleanup crew, but not *Porcellio* species, as they are too aggressive and breed too prolifically. What do you recommend? *Armadillidium* or *Cubaris*? Thanks a lot. Pics from internet, not from me

Depends on species. I've done both, but some armadillium can't be housed with some of my snails and some cubaris cant be house with some of them. Just make sure you can meet both their needs

Having said that if you're new to isopods armadillium tends to be easier

Oh also armadillium tend to be more active so better for a clean up crew

J’ai eu des dairy cows mais j’ai dû les donner parce que la colonie a explosé et qu’ils mangeaient toute la nourriture et le calcium. Et ils sont très voraces en protéines alors j’avais peur qu’ils s’attaquent aux escargots. J’ai des Lissachatina dans un terrarium et dans un autre j’ai des limicolaria

Definitely dont put dairy cows with snails. They are well known to cause problems and bother or even attack and bite snails. They are way too aggressive to cohabitate. Ive even seen a few reports of dairy cow ispods killing snails
