    Default Re: Feeding Springtail Cultures

    I'm using brewer's yeast for my cultures. It seems to be working very well, except I do need to feed them extremely frequently (like every other day). I also keep mine on charcoal, which I really prefer.

    The guy I bought mine from fed his uncooked rice. I have also heard about using fish flakes. I seem to recall that some people have had some sort of issue with things like that, maybe mites or something? I don't really remember. I know plenty of people who use things like that and have no problem, so I think it's a matter of personal preference.

    I've been using uncooked rice. I even throw some uncooked rice into my viv every now and then.
