  • Keeps isopods, springtails, and millipedes well-fed and active — a consistent food source is what maintains a healthy and reproducing cleanup crew.

  • A 2.5oz bag feeds an established colony for several weeks — store it sealed and sprinkle a small amount directly onto the substrate two to three times per week.

Questions & Answers

Answered by real pet keeping experience.

Q How do I feed it, and how often?
Sprinkle a small amount directly onto the substrate or into a feeding dish and your cleanup crew will find it and get to work. Feed two to three times a week depending on colony size and enclosure activity — start with a small pinch and increase based on how fast it disappears. If food sits uneaten for more than 48 hours, cut back the amount per feeding.
Q Which cleanup crew critters is this for?
All of them. It's formulated for isopods, springtails, millipedes, and fruit fly colonies, so a single bag feeds the whole crew instead of needing a different food for each. It suits all isopod species and springtail cultures and works across tropical, temperate, arid, and bioactive enclosures of every type.
Q Do I really need a dedicated food — won't the crew just eat waste in the enclosure?
They'll survive on it, but they won't thrive, and that's the catch. A cleanup crew left to live on whatever the enclosure produces dies back whenever organic matter in the substrate runs low. A well-fed crew moves faster, breeds more consistently, and processes waste far more effectively than one just scraping by — dedicated food is what keeps the population doing its job instead of barely hanging on.
Q My bioactive setup isn't keeping itself clean anymore — what's going wrong?
It's almost always the cleanup crew, not the substrate or drainage layer. Bioactive enclosures work because isopods and springtails break down waste, control mold, and cycle nutrients back into the substrate — and when that stops, it's usually because the crew isn't being fed consistently enough to hold a viable population. A crashing isopod colony is the single most common reason a bioactive enclosure stops functioning the way it should, and it nearly always comes down to food.
Q Why not just use fish flakes or leftover produce to feed my isopods?
You can get by on scraps, but they're inconsistent — produce molds, flakes don't cover the full nutritional range, and neither gives the colony a reliable base to breed on. A food made for the cleanup crew gives isopods, springtails, and the rest a steady, complete source so the population grows and stays productive rather than spiking and crashing with whatever happens to be in the enclosure that week.
Q How long does the 2.5oz bag last?
The 2.5oz bag provides enough food to support an established colony for several weeks at a regular feeding schedule. Because a feeding is only a small pinch, it stretches a long way, and the resealable bag keeps the mix dry between uses so it stays good while you work through it.

Sprinkle a small amount directly onto the substrate or into a feeding dish and your cleanup crew will find it and get to work. The formula is designed to give isopods, springtails, millipedes, and fruit flies a consistent and nutritious food source so they stay active, reproduce, and continue doing their job throughout the enclosure rather than dying back when organic matter in the substrate runs low. A well-fed cleanup crew moves faster, breeds more consistently, and processes waste more effectively than one that is left to survive on whatever the enclosure produces on its own. The 2.5oz bag provides enough food to support an established colony for several weeks at a regular feeding schedule.

Bioactive enclosures work because of the microfauna living inside them — isopods and springtails break down waste, control mold, and cycle nutrients back into the substrate in a way that keeps the enclosure stable without constant deep cleans. Most keepers who struggle with bioactive setups are not failing because of the substrate or the drainage layer — they are failing because the cleanup crew is not being fed consistently enough to maintain a viable population. A crashing isopod colony is the most common reason a bioactive enclosure stops functioning the way it should, and it almost always comes down to food availability.

Feed two to three times per week depending on colony size and enclosure activity. Start with a small pinch and increase based on how quickly it disappears — if food sits uneaten for more than 48 hours, reduce the amount per feeding. Store in a cool dry place with the bag sealed between uses. Suitable for all isopod species, springtail cultures, millipedes, and fruit fly colonies. Compatible with tropical, temperate, arid, and bioactive enclosures of all types.
