Size

These tiny, light-blue shaded springtails are an excellent addition to any Bio-active for their ferocious appetite and fast reproduction rates. They're very cool to watch in a culture because of the way they stack their eggs - the egg stacks are actually much bigger than the springtails and are sometimes confused for left over food.

Blue Podura cultures come in a 2oz clear container with calcium bearing clay substrate.

The container and substrate that these come in can also be used for culturing them long-term.

Every order includes a MI Beneficials custom 3" vinyl Blue Podura sticker!

Ideal Conditions: 

65-75 degrees Fahrenheit

Prefers moist and humid conditions
