Description

Springtails (Folsomia candida) are tiny arthropods (1-4 mm) and are used as "Tank Janitors" in a terrarium, eating mold and waste. They also make a great supplemental food for your Poison Dart Frogs or other animals that need tiny food. They can be dumped into your bioactive substrate. When you add Springtails to your tanks they will reproduce. If you are not adding to terrariums, we recommend that you use it start a larger culture (we use 6 qt. plastic containers). Larger cultures produce better and are less prone to CO2 buildup. If you use this smaller culture to start a larger culture to feed froglets or seed multiple tanks, allow the culture to grow for a month before use. sprintail culture

This 8oz culture houses Springtails on a dirt-like substrate, which can added directly to your vivarium! Simply dump the entire Springtail culture in your terrarium and mix the substrate (Springtails and all) in the Springtail culture right into your substrate. Each culture will seed up to a 29g / 18x18 size tank. For larger enclosures, allow the clean up crew a month to grow in the enclosure before adding pets, or purchase more cultures. The 32oz and 128oz starter cultures are on charcoal and can be added directly to your terrarium or be kept as a culture outside the terrarium. One 32 culture can benefit 2-4 terrariums and are started 1-2 weeks before shipping. One 128oz culture can benefit 8-16 terrariums and is started 3 months before shipping. The 16oz culture houses springtails on a clay substrate. These can be added to the terrarium and seed 2 terrariums at once or can stay on the clay to be cultured. Harvesting springtails from a clay culture is easier than ever! Simply turn the entire culture upside down, lightly tap on the bottom and BAM - its raining springtails! But don't worry, the clay substrate stays securely in place.
