Blister Isopods for Sale

Vibrant, active and a little bit unusual, the Blister isopod (Ardentiella sp.) is a gorgeous addition for collectors who want something beyond the usual favorites. Originally from Vietnam and previously sold as Merulanella, Blister has an equally colorful personality, and it’s a joy to watch as it explores its enclosure. If you’re searching for rare isopods for sale, Blister is well worth adding to your wish list.

Like other Ardentiella, Blister is a tropical species that appreciates a bit of extra care. It’s a good fit for keepers who’ve already succeeded with hardy species and want a more rewarding challenge. A taller enclosure with branches, cork bark and textured surfaces lets it climb and explore, and its activity makes it a lively centerpiece for a display.

Blister Isopod Care

To keep Blister thriving, provide a warm, humid setup with good ventilation, and build a moisture gradient so one area stays damp while another dries slightly. Use deep substrate of organic soil, leaf litter and rotting hardwood, and add plenty of hides. A calcium source such as cuttlebone is important for healthy molting, and a varied diet of leaves, wood and occasional protein will keep your colony strong. Keep conditions stable, avoid soggy substrate, and remove uneaten fresh food promptly.

Blister grows at a normal to slow pace, so patience is part of the experience. With steady conditions and good care, a healthy starter group can grow into a colony that becomes a standout in your collection. It also pairs nicely with Ember Bee, Red Diablo and Tricolor in a multi-species Ardentiella lineup, as long as each line stays in its own container.

Every culture from Springtails Culture is packed with care and shipped live to your door, so your colony arrives ready to settle in.
