Hey I've notice some mold growth in my viv... What do I do about this?

Its normal for new vivs to grow mold. You will never get rid of it, but you can keep it under control. Add some dwarf woodlice and/or springtails. They wil eat the mold and keep it down to a minimum.


BTW: its not harmful but it can be a nuisance.

As said before, this is completely normal with new vivs. I get it to. Just act like it's not even there, and within a week or two it should disappear.

So are springtails the way to take care of this if so where can I get them

 

[Boondoggle]

Yep, totally normal. Every new viv will mold. It usually blooms in new vivs and then dies away over time. That being said, some types of wood continue to produce a black slimey mold, but that doesn't appear to be what you have going.

Yup its totally normal. In fact here is some growing in my tank right now.

It comes and it goes. Nothing to worry about.
