Problem microorganisms in axolotl tank

[Zbosco13]

Hi all, looking for help with getting rid of some pesky things that seem to be the larvae of these miniscule flies in my axolotl tank. Obviously any treatment needs to by axolotl friendly. Attaching photo herebsince I can't figure out where to add a video. TIA!

You can upload videos to youtube, then copy and paste the link in your forum message and it'll embed the video. I can't really make out what is in the photo.

Looks like cyclops and mosquito larvae/blood worms. Both are harmless to an axolotl.

Is there an axolotl friendly way to rid the tank of them? Especially since I'd prefer not to be hatching mosquitoes and the like in my house

You can scoop out the Mosquito Larvae with a fish net.

if you have the larvae in the house you have adults also
