Introducing Bold Flo by Fishbrew: Revolutionize Your Terrarium and Vivarium by building your own Thriving BioActive Living Soil Systems!

Are you an avid terrarium or vivarium enthusiast? Do you want to create a captivating and sustainable BioActive ecosystem for your Isopods and beyond?

Look no further because Bold Flo is here to transform your terrarium and vivarium experience by providing a newly discovered diverse world of unique microorganisms ONLY FOUND in Cape Cod, Massachusetts!

Bold Flo is a groundbreaking product designed to help you build thriving Bioactive living soil systems for your terrariums and vivariums by harnessing the power of BOTH Aerobic and Anaerobic microbes called Diatoms. 

Diatoms are a group of single-celled algae that belong to the phylum Bacillariophyta. They are found in various aquatic environments such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and healthy bioactive soils. Diatoms are unique and fascinating organisms with several beneficial qualities for Isopod enthusiasts.

One of the remarkable features of diatoms is their intricate cell walls, known as frustules, which are made of silica. These frustules have intricate patterns and shapes, giving diatoms their distinct beauty. Due to their silica content, diatoms have been used in various applications, such as filtration systems, abrasive cleaners, and even polishing agents in toothpaste.

Furthermore, diatoms play a vital role in the global carbon cycle. They are photosynthetic organisms, converting carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis. 

As a result, diatoms are significant contributors to the production of atmospheric oxygen, producing approximately 20% of the world's oxygen supply. These microscopic algae form the food chain's base, nourishing various organisms. 

Many aquatic creatures, including zooplankton, fish larvae, and shellfish, rely on diatoms as a primary food source.

Some unique and beneficial diatom species include:

• Skeletonema costatum: This diatom species is known for its rapid growth and high production of fatty acids. It is an essential food source for marine organisms and is often used in aquaculture to feed fish and shrimp.

• Thalassiosira pseudonana: This diatom has gained significant attention in scientific research due to its small genome size and use as a model organism for studying diatom biology. It has contributed to advancements in understanding diatom genetics and their adaptations to changing environmental conditions.

• Chaetoceros muelleri: This diatom species is commonly used in aquaculture as a feed source for shellfish larvae. Its nutritional value and ability to support healthy growth make it a preferred choice for Isopod mancae.

• Pseudo-nitzschia spp: This genus of diatoms includes several species that produce a toxin called domoic acid. While these toxins can harm marine life, they also play a crucial role in the ecology of coastal areas by influencing the food web and nutrient cycling.

These examples highlight diatoms' diverse roles in ecosystems and their importance to both environmental and commercial applications. Their unique characteristics and beneficial properties make them an intriguing subject of study and a valuable resource for SERIOUS Isopod breeders.

Bio-Active Complete Living Soil Isopod Substrate  (EVERYTHING You Need)

Our Bio-Active soil substrate is made explicitly with Isopod health and higher reproduction rates in mind. Our handmade soil takes over one year to fully mature as we focus on building the overall health of our soil systems by executing the principles of the Soil Food Web as taught by Dr. Elaine Ingham and Jeff Lowenfels.

Our soil systems are built by using and benefiting from Mother Nature. We use 4 main composting worms to add vibrancy and bio-film throughout the substrate. As things come alive, these composting worms will break down organic matter into Carbon.

Carbon is the currency of the Soil Food Web, and the more Carbon we begin to build for our Isopods, the easier it is to maintain high health populations regardless of the Isopod species.  

We introduce beneficial organisms to combat pest pressures customarily associated with a newer Bio-Active living soil substrate during this soil creation process.

Beneficials We Use To Help Break Down Organic Matter

• African Night Crawler Composting Worms
• European Night Crawler Composting Worms
• Georgia Jumper Composting Worms
• Red Wiggler Composting Worms
• Rhizomorphic Mycelium
• White Temperate Springtails

Beneficials We Use To Help Combat Common Pest Pressures

• Neoseiulus californicus: Spider Mite Predator

Traditional Isopod Food Recommendations We Disagree With:

Fish Flakes: Especially within new Vivarium or Terrarium setups, using fish flakes as an Isopod food source attracts unwanted vector pests and disease issues.

In a more recent Bio-Active substrate setup, adding fish flakes allows mold to take hold usually within 24 hours, bringing fungus gnat flies and Detritivorous mites (Non-Beneficial Mites) to your Isopod substrate.

Folsomia candida, better known as the "Temperate White Springtails,"  provides various benefits to Bio-Active living soil substrates! 

This particular springtail species provides a unique experience for Isopod breeders as they work in symbiotic relationships with other Isopod species! 

Do YOU want to see the effectiveness of White Springtails for yourself when breaking down reptile fecal matter, reptile shedding, or simply essential housekeeping of breaking down waste and organic matter?  

Use Dwarf White, Dwarf Purple, or Flordia Fast Isopods to break down organic matter into Carbon. Carbon is the currency of the microbial world: The more we can create, the more luxurious and vibrant our Isopods will become. Adding these to your gecko or dart frog Bio-Active vivariums allows the animal to hunt its food.  

Temperate White Springtails are detritivores, which means they obtain their nutrients by consuming decomposing plants and decaying organic matter, making them the perfect clean-up crew for a live vivarium. 

They are a valuable "INVESTMENT" addition to vivarium building and can be introduced by simply pouring a culture into the substrate layer of an already set-up habitat. 

Temperate White Springtails are tiny little hexapods, at 1-4 millimeters, making them a convenient food source for microscopic animals like dart froglets. 

Many Springtail species are available in the hobby today, but the most common and effective Springtails we've used are the Folsomia candida.

One of the biggest complaints when building a brand new Bioactive Living Soil Isopod substrate is the fact that fungus gnats are almost guaranteed to appear.

Even seasoned Isopod breeders are sure to come across these at some point or another - they are almost inevitable. 

Suppose you choose NOT to be proactive in your Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols; the perfect temperature and humidity levels for Isopods are also the ideal breeding ground for the "Nuisance" pests. 

Our good friend Mark, founder of MI Beneficials, created a unique, hand-made product in Michigan that provides effective pest control solutions against fungus gnats, soil stages of thrips, and root aphids. 

Mark has perfected and handcrafted this concentrated, bio-diverse collection of beneficial bioactive living soil organisms. As a bonus, these organisms will help improve bioactive nutrient cycling and overall Isopod health!

These bio-diversity packs are ideally applied when a new Isopod vivarium or terrarium of MicroForest Complete bioactive living soil substrate is built.

Building beneficial Bio-Diversity will jump-start your IPM program by attacking known soil-borne pests (fungus gnats, thrips, and root aphids). Rest assured - they will not attack your isopods or their mancae.

The secret for building these systems allows us the flexibility on a microcosm scale to begin to allow nutrients to become more readily available to your Soil Food Web ecosystem.

Adding bioactive MicroForest Complete living soil to an established container or bed will dramatically improve your isopod's soil ecosystem conditions within weeks and immediately start combating specified pest issues within 24 hours of inoculation.

For severe fungus gnat issues, we highly recommend ordering two bioactive containers and finding a carnivorous plant known as the Tropical Pitcher Plant! (Nepenthes)

Species Contained In Each Bioactive Container:

Dalotia coriaria (Rove Beetle), Hypoaspis miles (Stratiolaelaps scimitus), Oribatida mite, Oligochaeta annelida (pot worms), Springtails.

Beneficial Benefits Described In Detail

The (Dalotia coriaria) Rove Beetle and Hypoapsis mile are a tag team on thrips, fungus gnats, root aphids, and even some pest soil mites.

While the rove beetle is 1-3mm in size, visible and black, the Hypoapsis miles are less than 1mm in size and color from white to brown. 

The rove beetle can take a little longer to establish and make a dent in your fungus gnat issues, but the Hypoapsis mile immediately starts eating fungus gnat larvae, which is why they are great when applied together! 

Quicker Bio-Availability:

Your starter pack comes in our rich worm casting/coco mix and is keptmoist and packed full of beneficial microbial life.

In addition, to jump-start hardy beneficial microbes, all species of insects and organisms present in these packs will feed on decomposing material. 

Working in a symbiotic relationship with ANY Isopod for sale on our website. Cohabiting with our Isopod collections breaking down more significant organic matter pieces into smaller, more available parts for your composting worms and smaller organisms to expedite the process of becoming bio-available to your plants.

Bioactive Living Soil Improvement:

Our biodiversity, living soil starter packs, come teeming with robust predatory mites known as Oribatida mites, a very slow-moving, long-living, and essential piece to the Bioactive living soil Isopod ecosystem. 

These beneficial and predatory mites come in large numbers and assist in breaking down organic detritus and distributing beneficial fungi.

They act much like composting in the soil food web in their ability to decompose organic material and provide quicker nutrients to your plants.

In addition to Oribatida, these packs come with Oligochaeta annelida (beneficial pot worms), which are in the same Order and Phylum of composting worm (red wiggler or earthworm), are white, small worms from 5-10mm long.

These worms act like composting worms, creating air channels for plant roots and expediting decomposition.

Indigenous microorganisms (IMO) have survived and thrived in their natural environment and contributed to the soil's harmony. Microbes are all around us, in the air, soil, water, and even inside us.

Every region has its own, IMO, microbes that have thrived in those regions for generations. We set out to collect these microbes in the perfect balance that nature provides us with.

These microbes are taken from a healthy old-growth forest and used to inoculate and create bioactive systems. 

Fungi and bacteria are all part of what is known as the soil food web, IMO helps us bring a tremendous number of fungal spores and a diversity of bacteria to supercharge the soils we are working with!

We take these microbes in nature's natural balance and preserve them using sugar which has been used as a preservative for centuries. To increase their populations, we then take these microbes and grow them on a substrate of microbial food.

This allows us to distribute these microorganisms to build a balanced bioactive system for living beings to thrive on.

IMO helps decompose organic material and aids as a catalyst for chemical processes in the soil that helps invigorate the soil.
