We keep some little orange isos in our reptile tanks to help with keeping the tank clean. I feel weird paying for fancy “potato bugs” but they apparently help, so here I am.
Springtails and isopods are good “clean up” crews. Usually reptiles, but you can also do cool bioactive set ups for rats.
Springtails are also not bugs and are hella under appreciated. They are absolutely adorable under a microscope, but you just can’t find great pictures online.
My ex collects this things. Apparently there a market for raising and selling them.
