Thread: Crickets in the tank. Soil substrate.

    Default Crickets in the tank. Soil substrate.

    Howdy do! So! I was looking cleaning filtering water this a little that. Here, there, and then that's when I found.... A cricket hatchling! I have soil substrate and my guess is some of the crickets stayed under the leaves and bred. Has this happened to anyone? And is it a problem? I could find anything searching on my phone. Thanks.

    Never had that happen, but it shouldn't be an issue. If you pull the critters as you see them, or the frogs eat them, the issue will resolve itself.

    I agree with Bill. It will auto correct itself in time. Either the frogs eat the new crickets or you can catch them and put them in a critter keeper until they are big enough to be eaten
