I took some of the water out of my springtail culture because I thought it was turbid due to debris or food falling into it. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was full of these little creatures swimming around with a few climbing on the glass, but despite a lot of googling I can't figure out what they are. They're extremely small (I left the can tab for scale) and they are thriving while my springtails don't seem to be doing very well. I've had the colony about 2 weeks now.
