    This is the container I've set up for the froglets to go into from the tadpole tank, and also some photos of the variance between the tadpoles, the photo of the single tadpole is a bit blurry but the red in the body is why I was thinking Litoria Ewingi. There seems to be a variance in the tadpoles could there be 2 different species or are they just at different stages? I know I have a lot of questions so I do really appreciate all of your hepl

    Is there a top on that? I think they are tree frogs, they will have suction cups. I would also (if you plan on keeping them) add more arboreal decorations.

    yes it does have a top but I removed it to give a clearer picture, I'm thinking the spotted marsh frog that we have will get a new home and then these guys can have it's tank as the marsh frogs tank is quite high because it was originally going to house a green tree frog, and yes my daughter is still wanting the green tree frog that was all we were going to have but in a space of 3 weeks we seem to have a whole lot more ( just as well I've always wanted to get a pet frog )

    No matter what these tadpoles turn out be, you will have the more interesting and unsual frog, as everybody has at least one Litoria caerulea. I have two, but I do not have any Litoria citropa or ewingii.

    I see what you mean Leanne. The Triangle type shape from the snout to the eyes is similar as well. The only thing is the colouring of your tadpole's don't look the same for Litoria ewingii. I have some photo's of my Litoria ewingii tadpoles from last spring in my album if you want to cheek them out. They do have quite distinctive markings. May be you could try to get a clearer photo for us.

    Kurt would chop off his arm for some but he might need that arm when he's in jail :P.

    The markings are similar but again the colouring is different. My Litoria ewingii tadpoles never had green in their colouring. As Kurt says, either way both frogs are awesome. Keep us updated as I'm interested to know which it will be. Thanks for the photo's.
