Here's a video I put together:

I plan on getting some of these from Peter Clausen in the near future. I'll follow your setup. Any other tips?

You may consider buying some of Peter's isopod substrate when you get the isopods. Peter does great work!

I can't think of anything else you might need to know...zebra pillbugs are one of the easiest species I've kept, they should do great for you as long as they have good ventilation and aren't kept too damp.

Sounds good. Thank you!

Great video aquariumax. The juveniles I recieved from you are doing really well.

What's the adult size on this species? Do they get as big as vulgare or remain on the smaller side?

They get to about the size of vulgare.
