For anyone looking to get some:
Just one costs upwards of 30 dollars, US. They’re supposedly difficult to breed in captivity, and take 6 months to mature. Adorable, but that is an expensive isobuddy.

You’ve clearly never seen the prices people pay for marine fish
True - that’s why i only buy terrestrial fish, they are way cheaper and don’t demand as much care as the wet ones.
That’s why I don’t have a tank.
But it’s not an off comparison, you can get up to 20-30 common variety isopods for $10-15 US. When you’re looking at setting up a stable breeding population for a fairly self-sufficient terrarium, that’s going to get expensive with Rubber Duckies.
