was cleaning some poop out my tank and saw these strange bugs on my filter! when i wiped them away they stared moving around. i’ve moved my axolotl in with my other axolotl just for the night incase they are bad for her!

The picture isn't clear, could they be detritus worms or planaria?

i don’t think it’s either of them. they aren’t in the water only on the part of filter that isn’t in the water, a couple fell in the water and they jumped! they also seem to be too small to be either of those
 
They’re springtails. You must have something bioactive near. Personally, I’d leave them if they are there, they have a job to do!
