🐼💖 Cubaris sp. "Panda King Pink" | The Rosy Variant
The "Panda King Pink" is a stunning color mutation of the classic Panda King. It offers the best of both worlds: the robust, "easy-to-keep" nature of the standard Panda King, but with a beautiful aesthetic twist. Instead of the stark black-and-white contrast, these isopods feature a soft, dusky pink to salmon-colored band and facial mask.

One of the biggest advantages of this morph is that it retains the hardiness of the original Panda King. They are much more "forgiving" than the Cherry Blossom.
Requirement
Specification
Difficulty
Easy to Moderate
Humidity
High (75-80%). Keep a distinct moisture gradient with plenty of damp moss.
Temperature
22–26°C (72–79°F). Very comfortable at standard room temps.
Substrate
5–8 cm of moisture-retaining organic soil (Abiosoil) with added calcium.
Ventilation
Moderate. Ensure some airflow while maintaining high internal humidity.

🥗 Diet & Nutrition
Panda King Pinks are "vacuum cleaners" compared to other Cubaris. They have a great appetite!
- Leaf Litter: They will graze on leaf litter (Oak/Maple) constantly.
- Protein Drive: They love protein. Provide dried minnows, shrimp, or high-quality isopod pellets 2 times a week to keep the colony growing.
- The "Pink" Factor: Feeding foods high in beta-carotene (like sweet potato and carrots) can help support their unique coloration.
- Calcium: Always provide a constant source of cuttlebone.

Cherry Blossom but are worried about the difficulty level, the Panda King Pink is your perfect match. You get a pink isopod that breeds quickly and is much less sensitive to minor husbandry errors.
- Burrowing Behavior: Like their black-and-white cousins, they will create tiny tunnels against the glass, allowing you to observe their "underground" lives.
