In a bioactive setup, the springtails work with the isopods to create the perfect clean up crew \u2013 the isopods break down larger waste created by the primary inhabitants, while the springtails eat the mold and fungus that thrives in humid setups. Fungus gnats and most mites that end up in terrariums also feed on mold and fungus, so a healthy springtail population can eventually outcompete the gnats and mites for food and control the populations.<br \/>\nStarter cultures include enough springtails to seed one enclosure, or start your own master culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Does not ship to FL, OR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This bundle includes 2 starter cultures of Dwarf Purple Isopods and 2 starter cultures of White Springtails.
