tane is commonly used after numbers, it is optional, but it is better to use it than to omit

Just curious, what would this look like if it was definite (the six spiders)? I mean, usually you would add the plural ending if it's definite, right? But you don't add it if it's after a number, so...?

No, because the number "six" comes before spider in the Turkish translation. Spider remains (in the nominative case). The number "6" quantifies the amount of spiders being eaten by the frog.
