    My bet is on springtails also. They are not bad for your vivarium, but beneficial. They break down waste and make a nice little clean up crew.

    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    That's what they look like in the water little white things all in a group together like that Amy. Is it possible for them to be in there even after I tore down the tank and put it back together? I am guessing if it is them then maybe the previous owner had them in there idk...

    Even if you don't add them yourself, they usually tag along in soil, plants, wood, or other additions. Like I said, they are beneficial, so no worries.
