I noticed that today the water dish in my tomato frogs cage had 3 groups of these tiny tiny little white specks and when i looked closer i noticed they were darting around the top of the water. they are to tiny for me to take a picture and the closest thing that i can resemble them to is a piece of yeast but they are probably 10X smalled than that...does anyone know what they could be?

parasites cannnot be seen by the naked eye most of the time. do you know what a springtail looks like? if you have a moist tank or a tank with any rotting leaves/plants/wood... there will be springtails.
