Does anybody know a good place to purchase aquatic isopods? Or would anyone on here that keeps these care to sell or donate a starter culture? Thanks

If you go to local running creek (you can find one running year round) get a fine mesh net or makeshift net and you can collect wild isopods, good luck brother!

Does anyone know if all aquatic newt species enjoy these and are they easy to culture?

The species Asellus aquaticus (I don't know the species you have in America) is enjoyed by virtually all aquatic caudates.
They are easy to maintain and to raise but I find their colonies grow rather slowly.
I sometimes catch some of these aquatic isopods to vary the food I give to my caudates.
