Powder Blue Isopods & Springtail Culture Combo

This bioactive cleanup crew combo includes 15 Powder Blue isopods and one 8 oz springtail culture. It is a simple way to start or boost a bioactive terrarium with two helpful cleanup crew organisms in one order.

Powder Blue isopods are active, hardy isopods known for their subtle blue-gray appearance under good lighting. They are a popular choice for bioactive enclosures because they help break down leftover food, shed skin, leaf litter, and other decomposing organic material. In the right setup, they can also establish a growing colony over time.

Springtails are tiny cleanup crew insects that help consume mold, fungus, and decomposing matter in damp areas of the enclosure. Because they work in smaller spaces than isopods, springtails are especially useful around moss, leaf litter, cork bark, soil, and humid hides.

Together, Powder Blue isopods and springtails make a strong starter cleanup crew for reptile, amphibian, invertebrate, and planted bioactive setups. For best results, add them to an enclosure with moist substrate, leaf litter, bark, moss, and hiding areas. Keep part of the habitat damp so both species have a stable microclimate.

Should I choose Temperate or Tropical springtails?

Choose Temperate springtails for cooler, damp setups and Tropical springtails for warmer, more humid enclosures. Match the springtail type to the conditions of your terrarium.

Can I add this combo directly to my terrarium?

Yes, you can seed the enclosure by adding the isopods and springtail culture near moist substrate, moss, cork bark, or leaf litter. However, the enclosure should already have moisture, hiding areas, and organic material for the cleanup crew to settle in.

Do I need to feed Powder Blue isopods?
