I have found that there are little bugs very very tiny that are living in my fire belly toads tank. They are white in color and are probably as small as small as an ant that is half cut. Currently I have Irish moss and a tropical plant. These animals are on the the Irish moss more often . They living in the lava rocks that I have . Also I see that Fruit Flies seem to be in my tank and also some other bugs that are strange lucking. Why are all these critters in my tank and what are they? Are they harmful to my FBT? ;0

Sounds like spring tails, they are tank cleaners.

You know what that might just be it ! They look very similar to the ones in my tank. But how did try get there? I never added them.

I did but none of the videos I checked showed the detail. You couldn't really see them. I couldn't even take a picture since there so small.

I'm guess springtails, consider it a "bonus" in the viv.

I've gotten those too before under the froggy hot tub. Thought they were bad, so I cleaned the tank. How do they get there?
