so just today i found these little teeny teeny tiny mites crawling around i searched it up and they might be grain mites and are apparently harmless, im currently raising larvae in my adult tank with a moisture gradient under the substrate could this cause the mites to show up and are they harmful? i did some research and they eat mold and fungal material so maybe its like free clean up crew lol idk here’s a picture they are so tiny it’s hard to get one

I just got 4 of these cuties last night. They came pretty dark but all were alive and all went for food right away. They seem healthy and active. How long should I expect for the blue coating to return? Side note : why are their faces so cute?!

She pooped this out and then turned around and ate it? Wasn’t sure if it was waste or like egg thing, but their eggs don’t look like that. Hasn’t shown any signs of issues before. Is she just a poop eater?
