Bio-active substrate cultures?

Akuma223 · 10-16-14, 06:10 PM

I was wondering if there was a way to buy a mixed culture of helpful inverts for my monitors bio-active substrate? I have plenty of isopods in there but would like more variety.

I've ordered from all of those places several times and roachcrossing is my fav as far as selection goes. All are great to work with.

I should also mention that earthworms are a great animal to add to an enclosure. Huge decomposers along with roches and maggots (Which will only show up if something is rotting heavily and).

I try earth worms but they typically just sit on top of the soil and fry :/ Even if I mix it up and make it perfect for them they are dead the next day.

What kind of earthworms did you try? How deep was your soil?

Well, I just take the worms I find outside. My soil is at least 1 1/2 ft deep in most places
