I have some springtails and i thought all springtails were white/pink? And will they eat baby isopods? I have brand new tiny baby isopods in the tank right now. Thanks for your reply!
Okay thankyou! I just have never seen or heard of a black one like that, and it was pretty big for a springtail so i was making sure. Im glad its not some pest.
I hadn’t really heard of black ones either. I had to hit up the Googler. Check out those images to verify that is what you have. I sometimes get dermestid beetles in my crickets. Once I got the larvae. Some breeders keep clean up crews in their colonies and sometimes you end up getting one.
Thankyou! Yeah, i think its one of those. I have no idea how it ended up in my tank though...
Is it moist in your tank? It’s getting pretty dry out and springtails need moisture. I often find them in neighboring enclosures as well as the one I dumped the colony in. Most recently I found them swarming a bolus in an enclosure I didn’t put them in. No more bolus!
It stays around 70-75% humidity, sometimes its at 80%. Thanks for the help
