Dwarf Ducky

Dwarf Ducky Isopods (Cubaris sp. 'Dwarf Ducky')
Dwarf Ducky isopods are a petite and charming variant within the Cubaris genus, recognized for their small size and rounded, duck-bill-shaped faces. Believed to originate from limestone cave systems in Southeast Asia, they feature soft coloration and subtle patterning that ranges from slate gray to pale cream. Their shy, slow-moving nature and unique appearance make them a favorite for nano enclosures and collectors who appreciate the miniature side of the isopod world.
