Porcellio haasi or Porcellio ornatus?

[Marika]

I'm thinking about getting a new isopod species, either P. haasi (dark) or P. ornatus, but I can't decide which one I want. I'm kinda leaning towards P. haasi, but I like the color of P. ornatus too. Which one would you get and why?

(I'm also getting other inverts, so that's why only one new isopod species.)

Are the ornatus a high-yellow cultivar, or just the natural type?

They are high yellow.

Personally I'd get the P. ornatus high yellows. But both are on my want list.

Maybe I should just get both species anyway so I don't have to decide P. ornatus high yellows are pretty, but there's something about P. haasi that I really like too.
