This was in a bag of Daphnia I bought for my Axies! No idea what it is, but doesn’t look friendly for sure!
Sorry for the awful quality photo. Looks to be the size of a grain of rice!
It floats but occasionally swims erratically, head to tail flipping style.

That is a mosquito larvae. It is fine for salamander food. If it changes into a mosquito and bites your significant other dummy up.

How odd! Straight down the toilet in other words, it’s about the same size as my hatchling 😂
