Default brown spots showing up in my springtail cultures....is this normal?
I'm seeing these weird brown spots in different spots of my springtail cultures.
Just wondering if that's normal or not.
Is it yeast growing or something lol? maybe eggs?

Could also be shed skin deposits. Either way, not a problem, we all have it.

I've noticed that the springs might be eating at these brown spots.
also I have noticed that these spots aren't in the ABG culture at all.
Yeah I have some charcoal pieces in the ABG culture but idk what could be the difference lol.
It's weird its in the just charcoal cultures but I have never seen it in the ABG culture.

btw for those who saw my fungal gnat thread I have been gnat free since I stopped using mushrooms.
I put a mushroom in my viv to feed those springs and noticed a gnat so I stopped using mushrooms all together and so far no gnats of any kind
