    Question Tempature issues

    Hi everyone, it’s my first day here and my first day as a frog/tadpole owner. My daughter bought home from school an African Clawed Frog tad pole. I had the tank all set up with a good ph level and used quick start and the chlorine drops. It’s in a 5 gallon tank for now while it’s a tad pole cause as most of you probably know they’re clear and it’s hard enough finding them in the 5 gallon. My problem is the heater I have makes the water too warm. It goes up over 85 degrees. The other problem is I live in upstate New York and it’s February so without the heater the water goes below 68 degrees. I’ve been turning it on and off a lot and was going to do that until pay day when I can afford a newer better heater. I’m just worried that the constant up and down in water temp will freak the poor guys system out and he’ll die. Also my daughter says at school they didn’t use a filter and only fed the tad poles every other day. I’m using a filter and feel like maybe it should eat more because of the whole metamorphism thing. Any suggestions?
