Description

Scientific Name: Cubaris ‘Thai Blue Angel’
Common Name: Thai Blue Angel

Native Habitat

Cubaris ‘Thai Blue Angel’ originates from humid tropical habitats in Thailand. It inhabits leaf litter, decaying wood, and limestone-rich environments.

These habitats provide stable humidity and abundant organic matter. Consequently, this species thrives amongst decomposing woodland materials.

Furthermore, limestone-rich environments provide valuable calcium sources. Therefore, access to calcium remains important in captivity.

Care Information

Cubaris ‘Thai Blue Angel’ is a highly sought-after tropical isopod admired for its unique colouration. Soft blue-grey tones create a distinctive and elegant appearance.

Furthermore, a subtle metallic sheen enhances its visual appeal under suitable lighting. As a result, it remains a favourite among collectors.

This species combines attractive colouration with the classic Cubaris body shape. Consequently, it makes an outstanding display isopod.

Temperature: 22-27°C
Humidity: High humidity with good airflow

Difficulty: Moderate

Provide a substrate rich in decayed hardwood, rotten wood, and leaf litter. Additionally, include cork bark and sphagnum moss for shelter.

Maintain a moisture gradient throughout the enclosure. Meanwhile, ensure adequate airflow to prevent stagnant conditions.

Always provide calcium-rich materials such as limestone, oyster shell, or cuttlebone. Therefore, healthy moulting and shell development remain supported.

Breeding Information

Under stable conditions, colonies breed steadily and establish successfully over time. Furthermore, regular access to calcium supports healthy development.

Consistent humidity and warmth encourage reliable reproduction. Consequently, colony numbers can increase gradually.

Juveniles develop steadily when suitable conditions remain available. As a result, breeding projects can prove highly rewarding.

Captive-Bred Details

All specimens are captive bred. Therefore, they adapt exceptionally well to established enclosures.

Their blue-grey colouration and elegant appearance create exceptional display value. As a result, they remain highly desirable among collectors.

Whether you maintain display cultures or breeding colonies, this species performs exceptionally well. Ultimately, few isopods combine such unique colouration and collector appeal.
