Description
Tropical Yellow Springtail cultures are a colourful and practical addition to any bioactive vivarium or dart frog terrarium. These vibrant microfauna provide the same clean-up benefits as traditional springtails, while adding visible movement and variation to planted, high-humidity setups.
Each culture contains a minimum of 25 live Tropical Yellow Springtails, carefully supplied with food to help you establish and maintain a healthy colony. They are ideal for tropical enclosures where warmth and moisture allow springtails to thrive.
Perfect for bioactive vivariums and dart frog terrariums
Tropical Yellow Springtails help maintain enclosure hygiene by feeding on mould, decaying plant matter, and organic waste. This makes them an essential part of a bioactive clean-up crew, working alongside isopods and beneficial microbes to support a more stable ecosystem.
They can also act as an occasional live food source for dart frogs and froglets, encouraging natural foraging behaviour while contributing to the enclosure rather than needing constant replacement.

Feeding and care
Feed sparingly using suitable springtail foods to prevent fouling the culture. Small, regular feeds work best. For additional food options and supplements, see our
Microfauna, Foods & Supplements collection.
Pair with white springtails
For keepers looking to run multiple microfauna types, these yellow springtails pair perfectly with our
Tropical White Springtails, giving you both visual variety and a reliable feeder-ready culture.
Tropical Yellow Springtails are best suited to warm, humid environments and are an excellent choice for anyone building or maintaining a healthy, bioactive vivarium.
