Keep an eye on them, but most likely they are springtails, a good thing for your tank. Alot of people will order some and plave them in the tank just to have them there. Check your pet, like I said, keep an eye, unless you can give a better description of the bugs, but I wouldn't be too worried.

bugs, for the most part are a good thing, especially if you have taken the naturalistic approach and have live plants and substrate in your tank..

Bugs help to make the small "bio-sphere" complete.. and, depending on what type of frogs you have.. bugs make a nice snack on occassion..
