Porcellio laevis

The Dairy Cow variation of Porcellio laevis is one of the most popular isopods in the hobby, loved for its bold black and white splotched pattern that closely resembles the markings of a dairy cow. This high contrast look makes them stand out beautifully in bioactive enclosures, drawing the eye with their unique and playful appearance. Larger, smooth-bodied, and easy to spot, Dairy Cows are also active, hardy, and prolific breeders. Their striking visuals, combined with their usefulness as a clean-up crew, make them a top choice for both beginner and experienced keepers.

These invertebrates serve several important functions in any vivarium acting as tank janitors to help break down dead plant matter and uneaten foods. They also provide the vivarium inhabitants with an extra in-house snack and aid in nutrient cycling.

Each culture has approximately 15-20 mixed size isopods included, with food, and are considered a large sized isopod.
