Curated Cleanup Crew

Our technical expertise of keystone fauna allows us to introduce a diverse and carefully chosen community of organisms that efficiently break down plant and animal waste, as well as combat mold growth. This tailored use of a "clean-up crew" performs a crucial role in maintaining the vivarium's cleanliness and overall health. By consuming decaying matter, they naturally fertilize the plants, promoting vigorous growth and ecological balance. Our microfauna will guarantee that your vivarium thrives as a self-sustaining and harmonious microcosm, with every element contributing to the bigger picture of this living work of art.
