Autopot issues

Hey guys I have a small autoflower plant in a 3,6L pot, way to small I know! But it was a free bee haha!
I bought autopots for my next grow 15L.
So I had the great idea to install my 3,6L pot in the autopot tray to make it as big as possible!
Well it worked great, the float worked well and filled the tray with water, 2 days ago. And when the tray was empty it filled it up again! So no problems yet!
but this morning I woke up to check out my little girl and I see some small tiny fucking things jumping around in my tray!? What is this how can there be bugs after just 2days? Do I have a fungus problem?!
I think my plant look healthy so I don’t know we’re they come from!? I have no bugs on my leaves or stems. Or on my other plants which I hand water.
what can I do to get rid of these tiny things?

I have another question to! In my reservoir, is it important to have a air stone or water pump? What do you guys suggest?
can it be a bug problem because of I have no oxygen in my reservoir?
I don’t have any bugs in my reservoir, just in my tray.

this is my first grow ever just to be clear :)

I have airdomes for my next grow also, not in this pot right now.

I don’t really need the autopot system but it was more a training to know the setup for further grows. But I got this problem right away -.-
I have like 5-7days more with nutes then flush.

Curious about how things are going with the autopots? The bugs probably came in the soil. I just started with autopots. I bought a four pot and single pot system. I added the airdomes to all and a water pumps to both reservoirs. I made my own reservoir for the one pot. I also went with promix to avoid ffof, and great lakes supersoil.

Those look like springtails and they feed on decaying plant matter, algae, etc. They aren't harmful.
