Plants for WTF Enclosure

Are those springtails you keep mentioning bugs?

[elly]

Yeah, really tiny white bugs that live off mildew.

[Frogs1]

And you want them in the tank?

[elly]

Yeah, they act like a clean-up crew for mold and they generally stay hidden in the dirt.

Ok, so I put them in there, or do they just come with the substrate? Also will this be good for the substrate? ABG Mix (4 Quart/1 Gallon) - ABG Atlanta Botanical Gardens Mix | Josh's Frogs

The shipping cost to Australia is like $130, does anyone know where I can get something similar here?

I have heard that coconut fiber is used a bit, could that do the job?

Edit: I found a place near me that sells it, is it the right stuff though? Fauna Jungle Coconut shell Peat Fibre - Terrarium 100% Natural Substrate | Stefmar pet care

I don't know if that would work for planting, maybe you could try ordinary organic soil with no vermiculite in it. Or a mix of that and ordinary soil. As far as springtails you might be able to find them in specialty pet shops. Places that have dart frogs might carry them.
