I'm currently working/thinking through how to get some nutrients into my springtails. I'm worried about the myth that springtails are high in calcium. That is only true if the springtails themselves are living in a calcium rich soil. The soil in our tanks has high calcium content because of the weekly dusting that gets poured in. However, a charcoal substrate and feeding white rice leaves springtails that in a few generations should have no calcium.
I'm toying with the ideas of adding calcium to the charcoal. I'll let you know if that has any affects on production.
Any other ideas would be great!
