Bug Infested Utric Mess

[RSS]

This tank got infested with some little white bugs a long time ago, there was nothing I really cared about in there so I left it alone. They don't seem to be hurting the plants but they are everywhere. Well I want the tank back and don't want to mess with de-bugging the Utric's.

Anyway free to a good or bad home for shipping as they will go in the trash by the end of the weekend if no one wants them.

I know there is Utric longifolia and the bulk is likely livida. Please be able to paypal $6 on the day you say you want them as I'm wanting to get this out soon.

I'll take them and give it a try. Keep it separate and smother those buggers.

From the few photo's I took they look more like a Bourletiellidae species of springtails to me, but I can't get a sharp enough photo to really tell without spending more than 5m on it. And I just don't care enough too.

All yours just need the postage.

Looks like a tiny type of aphid

I go out of my way to culture springtails for my frogs. That doesn't make me an expert but every species of springtail that folks culture for frogs, both tropical and temperate, all remain primarily in the substrate.

I too think they look like aphids but you said they don't seem to be having an effect on the plants...hmm

Look a bit like thrips.
