Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + The listing says one 8 ounce culture seeds a 20 to 40 gallon setup and builds a colony in a few weeks.
  • + Described as grazing on mold, fungus and decaying plant matter to keep the substrate balanced.
  • + The product page says it is low maintenance, needing only moisture and a small pinch of yeast, rice or fish flakes.

Trade-offs

  • - Tropical pink springtails suit humid setups, and the spec sheet does not recommend them for dry enclosures.
  • - A single 8 ounce culture is small next to the larger cultures in this guide, and the manufacturer gives no animal count.
