Anyone know what these are? They're about an inch long, less than an inch under the water, in completely still water.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
Having looked at the video they don't look like mosquito larvae to me. But it's hard to tell for sure because there is nothing to compare the size to. But mosquito larvae are dark colored (at least the ones I've seen) & these are very pale.

They are over an inch long, and connected to or coming out of the soil. They are not mosquito larvae. I appreciate anyone's help in identifying these. They are in a pot that was placed in the pond just a couple weeks ago and the water is not currently accessible to fish.

I'm pretty sure those would be nematodes, although impossible to say what kind -- they are one of the most numerous and varied creatures in the world, and ones that we seldom notice!
