Do you just have them in a fish aquarium filled with water??? Tadpoles like shallow water, I kept mine in a small aquarium with about 2 1/2 inches of water, with aquarium sand on the bottom. You need to change the water out a lot, if you don't use the instant water stuff just fill a container with tap water and leave it in the sun for 3 days. You should also wait a day before adding that instant water stuff just to be safe. You should add soil to the bottom, and aquatic plants for them to hide around. You should always have a rock in the water that comes out of the water so that they can easily climb out. Mine went from no limbs to climbing out of the water in about 5 days, if I hadn't put something in the water he would've drowned. Plus you should never take that many tadpoles! Not only do they eat each other if they are competing too much for food, but you should only take a couple from a pond in order to not disrupt the natural ecosystem! You really should have read up on this, hopefully you're planning to put them back at the place you found them once they are grown? This is kind of sad to me =(
I would recommend reading the entire care sheet about grey frogs on this website
