Trichorhina tomentosa Dwarf Purple Isopods

Trichorhina tomentosa “Dwarf Purple” Isopods are a miniature, fast-multiplying clean-up crew perfect for tropical bioactive enclosures. Known for their subtle lavender-purple hue and extremely small size, they thrive in high-humidity environments and excel at breaking down waste in places larger isopods can’t reach.

Because of their size, Dwarf Purple Isopods are ideal for dart frogs, small geckos, and micro-fauna setups where they won’t disturb inhabitants or be easily eaten. They reproduce quickly, establish colonies fast, and work constantly beneath the surface to keep substrates healthy and mold-free.

Great for:
✔ Tropical bioactive terrariums
✔ Dart frogs & small amphibians
✔ Nano reptiles & invertebrates
✔ Substrate-level clean-up crews

Small, discreet, and incredibly efficient Dwarf Purple Isopods are a must-have foundation species for thriving bioactive ecosystems.
