What is going on in my substrate?

Hey all, sorry if this is too short, I'm typing on my phone,
Ask Questions if needed.


So about an hour ago when I was doing my misting on my whites tree frogs new three week old tank, I noticed three things.

There are cricket eggs in the cocofiber.

I can see small fully short white worms digging through the soil and hanging around decaying crickets before I remove them. (they aren't a nemotode)

There are yellowish eggsacs

What should I be concerned about?

Sounds to me like you're going to get some free food. Don't worry.

Thank you! We just had a huge decrease in the wood fungus so I think it might be fungus gnats. Since they don't have a black tip on their heads.

I've had the larvae of some kind of "fruit fly" (well they obviously weren't eating fruit but I don't know what else to call them) on my dead crickets. Just remove the dead ones more quickly and you should be fine.

I would get rid of that soil, change it completely, desinfected everything. I wouldn't take chances.
There are tons of nematode species, could be larvae of something too.

I will consider doing it when I wake up, again thank you for your input, I've been monitoring his/her poo and she/he has been eating normally, I don't see anything strange in the poo. So far they seem to be fungus worms which would explain the rapid decrease of fungus on my driftwood. As for nematoads they're just too big and fat for nematodes and don't seem to be in my drainage layer what so often. It is not entirely soil as it is coco fiber and i've read up on cases of fungi flies being found in the coco fiber and they shouldn't be a problem and go away after a week. I plan on reducing the misting amount to as WTFs minimal ideal humidity. I will update you if anything interesting happens.
