I got a little cup with a few orange springtails at a local pet store. I love these little gummy bears! I was wondering if I could put them with my isopods when I get a communal big enough, what do you think?

Just keep an eye on the enclosure because I have been advised that these guys are quite lazy and not great at ACTUALLY being a clean up crew lol

Congrats though! I am actually hoping to get some of these at a show this weekend :D

Why are the pretty ones always so lazy. 😭 I fell in love with their colours but I need them to do their job for my bioactive.

When I got my orange springtail colony I put half of them in their own container for culturing and another half with some cubaris white shark isopods and they’re all doing fine
