ADF Tadpoles?!

[Jamie D.]

OMG! I think I have tadpoles! There aren't any fish in this tank, but I have these little swimmers in there (sorry for the blurry pic...my lighting is not good for pics, and they keep moving). I just recently had to separate some of my frogs because two males were fighting, so I don't have a spare tank to raise these in, and my big female is actively hunting them (there are two other frogs in there as well). So I doubt they'll survive, but maybe one or two can hide in the foliage long enough to morph. Fun, eh?

I'll put some ground up bug bites, daphnia, and the water from the frog's brine shrimp in there just in case. I added some catappa leaves, too. Either way, I did not expect to ever see tadpoles hatch in my tank!

They look like tadpoles. You can move them into a plastic storage container and use water from their current tank. Add some plants and change most of the water each day until you can get an established filter in it.

I really don't have the time or space for that at the moment, but I'll keep that in mind for a potential setup if it happens again!
