arthropod question

2 question about our little terrarium friends:
1) Is it OK to mix different species. Pretty sure they won't hurt each other but I don't want interbreeding and ending-out with FrankenPods.

Orchids are mounted but have sphagnum over the exposed roots. Broms are mounted and it looks like one is starting a pup. No fog after sundown.

Humidity

Sorry, it's a paludarium with a waterfall.
The top fits snug.
There is 1 vent near the bottom.
There is a small fan set on low.

Almost finished planting my new paludarium (1/3 water & 2/3 land) with broms, moss, ferns... What is you advice on adding a clean-up crew (springtails & pods)?
