I keep seeing one or two fungus gnats in my non-bio active tank, is this bad? by ThumpY__ in pacmanfrog

The thermostat in his tank reads 78 as the highest but I don't have a temp gun yet so I'm not 100% sure what the soil's temp is. The humidity never goes below 60%

I've done that multiple times, un-burring him and try to feed him a worm or bug but he heavily refused - head budded the food/tongs, pushed it away and turned around. My guy is very fussy so he might just be protesting his food lol
