These Chrome colored microarthropods are great at keeping your terrarium clean and a critical part of the bioactive fauna. They shine like little pieces of metal and like to form small colonies inside the terrarium. They are often described as “Tank Janitors” and eat mold and waste. They are fairly new to the hobby with most keepers not even knowing they exist because of their rarity. Very prolific and great for environments that are warm and slightly moist.

They make a great nutritional supplement for small frogs and micro insectivores of any animal species.

One culture can populate a 20-30 gallon terrarium. You can continue to breed the springtails inside the cups by adding our Springtail Food.
