Substrate Advise

[izzp99]

I need advise on substrate... eveytime I make a new enclosures with coco fibre substrate I get mold everywhere and fungus gnats because of how wet the substrate stays. Would it be better to change the substrate to something else or should I add more ventilation to the enclosures?

More ventilation usually solves any mold and fungus issues. The few times I had mold issues was in enclosures that didn’t have as much ventilation as I would like.
