I have (had?) three cultures of springtails that were finally starting to boom. They're on charcoal in largeish plastic/tupperware containers. I'm not sure what kind they are besides being white. I mostly fed them on yeast but drop in the occasional piece of fruit leftover, peel, or seed. Last night I was munching on some "Cuties" (easy-peel clementine things) and dropped a few pieces of the peel into each container.
This morning there is no movement in any of the cultures and I noticed some floaters. I took out the peels, is there anything else I can do (maybe the eggs aren't all dead?) to hopefully bring the cultures back? Each container has about 1/4-1 inch of water in the bottom, should I dump that and add new water?
Thanks for any help!
