I recently noticed these tiny bugs all over the inside and top of my shrimp tank filter. Do I need to be worried about them and if so how do I get rid of them? My tank pretty much takes care of itself I dont do much other than top it off/scrape algae, and it always has good parameters. They are so tiny I cant see the details just looking at them only through my camera.

Springtails!
Like already mentioned, springtails! They’re super cute and not a threat at all. They help with eating up some dead plant material not harmful at all just can be annoying seeing them everywhere. If you wanna get rid of them usually bringing the humidity down a tad and also spot cleaning with some diluted hydrogen peroxide and spray in the areas of the filter you’re seeing them. They’re great helpers though!
