Open a label for the note on this listing. Brood counts are not taken from a census of these bins.
Habitat
Shiro Utsuri is a white Cubaris with black patches, named the way a white koi with black markings is named. High humidity, moss, and a less-wet corner. The white shell is the first thing to look chalky if the damp side fails.
Diet
Aged leaves, wood, calcium, tiny protein portions. The ink-blot pattern is genetic.
Breeding
Slow, and the black patches vary from animal to animal. That variation is part of the line. No brood count is logged.
A good fit
A high-contrast display Cubaris for a keeper who already maintains humidity. Not a first colony.
