Large, energetic, and never shy about exploring or eating, they’re one of the most animated isopod species available. A typical adult reaches around ¾ inch, with some individuals approaching a full inch, making them 2–3× the size of common beginner isopods like Powder Oranges.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance \u0026amp; Behavior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDairy Cows bring movement and personality to any enclosure.
