I'm pretty confident we identified this as Coproporus ventriculus. They are living with my white isopods. So far culturing them is the same. From what I have read this species is found beneath bark of deciduous trees and they feed on rotting plant material, fungal spores or mycelium, algae and pollen. Some from this order can be predaceous but I have not found anything suggesting this species is. Size is pretty small. The largest I have seen is about 3-4mm. Average size is 2-3 and smaller. Any thoughts or comments? I have only let my auratus eat these and they seemed to like them. I may try them with my Imitators but they tend to feed in the upper parts of their viv and not in any certain spot like the auratus. Garrick
