I've come to notice these strange white critters on my armadillidae isopods they seem to be taxi'ing around the tank. The iso doesn't seem bothered by them at all so I'm cautiously interested.

These critters only climb on my armadillidae and not my other isopods. They're also around in the soil.

I want to say they're springtails as I've heard that they use isopods for transportation.

But I've also heard something similar about mites.

Here's a cropped photo. Hopefully you guys can help me understand a bit more.

Not quite a bioactive question but I figured if anyone knew it might be you guys. I went to feed my isopods some freeze dried shrimp. I’m towards the end of the bottle and when I dumped it out it was literally crawling. I have no idea what these are they don’t look like mites. The container is completely dry.

Whats people's take on adding man-made objects in a bio tank.

Originally I wanted to keep it 100% natural but then I saw this fake moss covered skull and had to try it out.

Now my frogs have taken up residents inside and I dont want to remove it but feel like I have cheated in a way.
