Just realized my grandma was right about using river stones instead of aquarium gravel
She told me last weekend that the smoother rocks let my isopods move around better, and after I swapped them out yesterday the little guys are finally breeding like crazy has anyone else seen a big difference just from changing the substrate base?

Old school wisdom wins again, doesn't it? The shape of the substrate makes a huge difference for how they turn around and find food. What kind of river stones did she recommend, and did she mention anything about the size range? Smooth stones with some variation in size is what my local crew seems to prefer. I've seen way more breeding since switching to a mix, but I'm still tweaking the moisture levels to get it just right.

Oh totally, @the_fiona, my grandma swore by creek gravel and it somehow worked every time.
