You will receive an 8 oz container with 25+ Dwarf Tropical White Isopods and an 8 oz container containing Temperate Springtails. Weve found that these two species are the best for most bioactive enclosures. Dwarf Tropical White Isopods (Trichorhina tomentosa) are the most popular species of isopods for Poison Dart Frog vivaria and other bioactive setups.

They reproduce quickly, and are a great isopod to seed your vivarium with. They eat decaying matter and fungi while also providing a snack for amphibians. We also recommend using the starter culture to start a larger culture so that youll have a steady supply available. Springtails (Folsomia candida) are tiny arthropods (1-4 mm) and are used as Tank Janitors in a terrarium, eating mold and waste.

They also make a great supplemental food for your Poison Dart Frogs. This 8oz culture houses springtails on a dirt-like substrate, which can be added directly to your vivarium! In order to help them establish and thrive, we recommend feeding them weekly with Joshs Frogs Spring to Life Springtail Food or Joshs Frogs Clean Up Crew Cuisine. They will also establish better if added to the vivarium 1 month before your pets are added.
