Hi all, I rehoused my T Blondi about 3 weeks ago into a larger tank and after 3 or 4 days noticed that there was mould forming in various areas. I looked into the idea of adding a few pillbugs and discovered that there are quite a few folks who already use these guys to help along with tank maintenance..... boy, they are GREAT :worship:
I collected 5 of these lil' soldiers from the garden and housed them in a container for 2 weeks to rid them of any pesticides etc, and then introduced them to their new home. My girl takes no notice of them, they are virtually impossible to locate during the day (which I am also happy about as the tank is on display), and there is no mould (I carefully scooped out most of the mould but left some tiny spots which were difficult to get to, which are now gone). I also modified my tanks lid yesterday to provide more ventilation and avoid stagnant air etc.
If anyone is uncertain about having a couple of these guys in their T's enclosures then I can definately put a good word in for em, it's like employing a few cleaners but not having to pay wages
A round of applause for the Rolypoly's :clap: :clap: :clap:
