Hi all, I'm new on this phorum. I have small problem. There was many springtails in my box. I cleaned my box but springtails was back in short time :-( How perish these beasts?
(I'm sorry - my english grammar is bad.)

Welcome to the forum! As far as I know, springtails are not harmful to your snails, so perhaps it is not necessary to make an effort to get rid of them.

I think the only way to get rid of them is to replace the substrate with completely fresh material, and wash everything really well before putting it back into the tank (as well as washing the tank itself).
