Tree frogs and wood lice vs. springtails

[thadmy]

I was thinking of seeding my future clown tree frog tank with either woodlice or springtails.

Is this a good idea? I looked around and saw some people that did but there wasn't any further posts detailing whither it was a wise choice or not.

I don't think my tree frogs will search through the substrate looking for the bugs but I wanted them to recycle my tank so I could set up a small ecosystem in the tank to break down extra wastes.

I think you are probably going to be disappointed at how much they can actually breakdown unless you get super high numbers.

Not so much breakdown as keep mold from running wild

Typically mold shouldn't be much of a problem after the first couple of months.
