I was going to mention that the springtails that I find around the yard, under stones, plant pots and such, are much smaller than melanogasters.

However, your little nymphs do look like they can take down a mel if they really wanted to. Springtails will break them in and give them some confidence and variety if the parents still enjoy some mels anyway.

 
There is a springtail and isopod outbreak in my rhyparobia tank

I have isopods who start out when born abt the size of a fungus gnat

U can probably catch/culture springtails if u crush up some perlite, mix with really wet peat moss, put in a pot, sprinkle some whole perlite on top and just keep really wet and warm, u will have tons of gnats soon enough
