Hi there,

can someone please recommend which species of isopods are the best for Mantis enclosure clean up crew?
 
I'd say dwarf whites are best: prolific, relatively dry-resistant, and great at breaking down organic waste.
 
I'd say a couple of giant canyons would be good for a cage with substrate. I don't think any isopod could last a day in a bare-bottom cage.
