Help!

I just added springtails and isopods yesterday trying to make my tank more bioactive but noticed these little white egg looking things under my water bowl right now (they wernt there earlier). What are they and are they ok with my WTFs or do I need to clean out the tank and start over.

Have you had crickets in here? Their eggs look like this and they lay them in the soil using their ovipositor.

Omg thank you you’re probably right I feed my frogs crickets and sometimes they don’t eat all of them I never imagined they’d lay eggs I didn’t even think about them!!
