Yellow and Lilac Springtails (Ceratophysella sp.)

Yellow and Lilac Springtails are small, efficient decomposers that play a vital role in bioactive ecosystems. Native to humid environments, these springtails help break down organic matter, regulate mold growth, and maintain a clean, balanced substrate. Their distinct coloration—pale yellow or soft lilac—adds a unique visual appeal to terrariums and vivariums. They are excellent for dart frogs, isopods, and other bioactive setups.

Care Information

  • Requires high humidity with a consistently moist substrate such as coconut fiber, peat moss, or sphagnum moss
  • Prefers a well-ventilated enclosure to prevent mold buildup
  • Feeds on decaying plant matter, fungi, yeast, and supplemental fish flakes
  • Thrives in temperatures between 68-77°F (20-25°C)
  • Grows to approximately 0.5 to 2 mm as adults
  • Rapidly reproduces under ideal conditions, making them an effective cleanup crew for bioactive setups
