Live Springtail Culture

 

Our Live Springtail Culture is a versatile and fast-breeding microfauna colony ideal for bioactive enclosures, terrariums, vivariums, and as a nutritious live food for fish and fry. These tiny beneficial arthropods naturally break down mold, fungi, and decaying organic matter while also serving as an excellent protein-rich live food.

 

Springtails are widely used in bioactive ecosystems as a clean-up crew, helping maintain a balanced and healthy environment. At the same time, aquarists value them as a natural live food that stimulates hunting behaviour in fish.

 

 

Perfect For Feeding Fish

 

 

Springtails float on the water surface, making them an excellent live food for surface-feeding fish and fry, including:

 

• Betta

• Guppies & Endlers

• Rasboras

• Tetras

• Killifish

• Small nano fish

• Fish fry

 

They are the perfect supplement to dry foods, encouraging natural feeding instincts.

 

 

Bioactive Benefits

Culture Details

 

 

• Live, actively reproducing culture

• Packed in ventilated container

• Easy to start and maintain

• Can seed multiple enclosures or cultures

 

 

How to Use

 

 

For Bioactive Enclosures

Simply pour or tap a portion of the culture onto moist substrate. Springtails will quickly spread and begin establishing a colony.

 

For Feeding Fish

Tap or scoop a small amount onto the water surface. The springtails float, allowing fish to easily hunt and eat them.

 

 

Care Tips

• Keep substrate slightly moist (not flooded)

• Feed occasionally with rice grains, yeast, or fish food

• Store in a cool shaded area
