Just a few of my Oniscus asellus which I collected from a nearby park. I believe they were chomping on an cucumber piece. Sorry for mediocre phone camera. ๐ฌ
I also have some Orange Koi, but they're not established/flourishing yet.

Isopods (order isopoda) are seven segmented crustaceans found in almost every conceivable environment, from the deep sea, coasts, rivers, ponds, deserts, tree-tops, forest floors as well as gardens and bathrooms across the world! They may just be natures greatest creation.

Glad you enjoyed them. I actually thought they were P. scaber at first too. And my first image might not have been the best. However, over on the reddit isopod page, they were identified as O. asellus based upon their little pale skirts and lack of bumpy back. Here's a couple other images that may help us come to a conclusion. Either way, they're cute. ๐ฅฐ
This lady lost an antenna, but helped my populate my collection all the same. ๐ช
These are Oniscus asellus absolutely, but your first picture definitely appears to be scaber - you can see their granulation, which Oniscus doesn't have.
