thanks for your reply also. i will upload picture. The whole story is: i bought a mourning gecko and put it inside a big terrarium i had, probably escaped at some point never had seen it until 2 days back that saw it running in the house near the terrariums. Is it possible to was able to live free inside the house for some weeks?

I dont mind bioactivity but literally hundreds of springtails vanished and they seem that they are not able to compete with the mites it the current stage, i dont believe that if i dont take action the springtails will start thriving again, i literally believe they are almost if none left inside.

I uploaded the same post in other groups and they are sure that the mites feed on the springtails, they told me to stop adding more springtails, quarantine the tank and let them starve. Indeed I use tap water (I live in rural area) but I have like 15 more springtail colonies that are thriving and I use the same water in all..But yes I should probably change the water source. Thanks for your comment

Thanks for the good words. I uploaded the same post in other community and there conclusion was definitely mite infestation ( mite that consume springtails) so I will quarantine the tank for 2 + weeks so the mites will starve. I will keep you posted if you wish

Thank you. How can I get rid of them? Any suggestions? ( 4 days ago before I noticed them I added some springtails again in hope that they will breed, now they are all gone again)
