Yes these are free living nematodes. They are harmless to the frogs. I've had them in QT tubs before.

I agree with the previous two comments.

I know this is off topic but the tub seems awefully small for a quarantine tub. I have springtails in larger tubs.

They look like Grindal worms... which are harmless.

Harmless, unless you want to seed the QT with springs. Then they are a nightmare
