Help to moss

[d373599]

I have a log with a little moss, can someone tell me if it dangerous or how can i get kill it? Idk to much about springtails or isopods (i have a damon medius idk if its relevant)

Do you mean mold? Or maybe I'm not seeing dormant moss that you can see. If it's the latter, you'd have a harder time getting it to live as many need a good winter season to go dormant. If it's the former, I recommend springtails only, isopods don't discriminate when it comes to protein sources.

@fcat advice.

You should be fine with tropical springtails if you are meeting the husbandry requirements of your friend.

One culture would last you indefinitely if you feed the springtails. You can use the single culture to colonize all your enclosures (provided the environment is the same). Just put a few scoops of their substrate near the area, they will be within. You may find they go for a swim in water dishes, just blow them out by blowing along the horizontal surface of the water (bring the dish to your mouth and blow along the rim if that makes sense). That might be a clue your substrate is too dry.

Oh wow! I really apreciate it, but the springtails do not affect the molt process? I have a damon medius, mi guess is no but i dont really know.

Hi, i bought springtails and they are eating the mold but its just keeep coming back and more and more, the springtails do not eat all the moss. What can i do?

 

[fcat]

I'd give them a few weeks to get the job done, especially if food is abundant, they will be breeding and growing their colony size, which will consume more mold.

Give them time to reproduce and increase their numbers and mold consumption.
