Curious about what ratio of blackwater extract to spring water is normally used for the tadpoles?
Seems there are as many opinions on tadpole rearing as there are stars in the sky. One teaspoon per gallon seems to be the average.
ya, I googled that too. Boiling leaves, tea tree oil, all kinds. I was thinking a guru was going to give u tips from their practice.
I am trying 3 different ways.
1. I have had spring water, indian almond leaves and java moss in 16 oz. cups for about a month now.
2. I will prepare the same when tadpole is ready to go in, and
3. Cups will have only blackwater extract.
There are plenty of opinions concerning blackwater tanks. Here are some things to consider:
