Isopod colony setup

[8ball]

The tarantula's wont eat them?

Ok so now I have my little isopod container and I keep them moist and well fed. They all seem to hang out on one of the sticks in there for some odd reason. On closer inspection, the container has a bunch of white mites and they are crawling on the damn isopods :wall: . I can't win.

Get a peice of tree bark. That will contain opillione eggs and springtails. Both will eat mites.

Try to find a bunch of pseudoscorpions...they will eat mites also.

I could do that, but wasn't the point of the isopods to prevent the build up of mites in millipede enclosures? If a dozen of them can't prevent mites in a large deli cup, how good are they going to be in a 10 gal aquarium?
