Hello,
I've had an AFS for about 2months now and everything seems to be going as planned. I just wanted to post and make sure everything was on the up and up as far as everything I've researched and to make sure I'm on the correct path to a happy and healthy scorpion.
I've upgraded the tank size to a 20g. and added 6in to 3in of substrate. I have live moss, plants, and real wood. I've also added isopods and springtails for a clean up crew. Because of the bigger size tank, now the temp sits around 75f on one side, and 70f on the other. Just today I added a plant light with Red/Blue, red, or blue options.
Also, I feed with crickets. I try to keep at least 2-3 in the tank and she (Rosy the scorpion) seems to be eating.
Sorry for the long post. I guess my biggest questions that I have, that I haven't found answers to are
Is it okay to keep crickets in the tank, as long as I know Rosy isn't moulding?
Is the BLUE (not black light) okay? I know red is practically invisible to them.
And what is a good way to judge how many isopods and springtails I should have in a tank?
Thanks in advance!
