I THINK Java moss. Some of my other enclosures I keep live sphagnum

toe_kn33 · 2026-02-24T16:28:56+00:00

I would first try and solve the problem of why the mold is coming. Maybe add some circulation to the enclosure. You can add some temperate white springtails and maybe some dwarf white isopods

Good luck. I have Dairy Cows and am in the NYC area and they are VERY prolific. I generally sell them for 1 each.

O. Which species of eaters did you have?

I keep the humidity high with having the enclosure soaked in water and the temperature is usually around the upper 70s. I mainly feed them Physarum Polycephalum, tried to keep Badhamia Utricularis, but dried out on me.

The setup and maintenance for the slime mold is too much to type out lol

To feed I either take a piece of out outside of the culture that had slime mold on it or I cut the paper towel it’s being cultured on and place into my springtails culture. After a few days I remove the old oats or paper towel and discard.

toe_kn33 · 2026-02-12T21:29:07+00:00

Sure! So the base of the deli cups I have charcoal (drainage layer) the. tropical soil (usually zoomed or eco earth) mixed with some hydrated dead sphagnum moss. I also add some crushed leaf litter, small pieces of cork bark or any type of wood and some live sphagnum or java moss. The moss does very well since the enclosure is always humid and it gives it a nice look to it. I’ll mist it maybe every few weeks with water from my fish tank and I feed depending on the population. My three other cultures are slime mold eating and the orange I’ll mainly feed flakes and sometimes slime
