HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi everyone,

I’m keen to get a clean up crew going for my crabitat and I’ve read about both springtails and isopods. In your experience is there one that’s better? I’m not sure which one to purchase.

Thanks in advance

If you just want one, then I strongly suggest springtails. They go mostly unnoticed but eat everything unwanted including mold and poop. I seed every enclosure I start with springtails.

Awesome, I’ve just ordered some Thank you!
I also worry about isopods overbreeding.
