fish or frog?

[firebellygirl]

Can anyone confirm that these are fire belly toad tadpoles? I also have white cloud minnows, but these do not look like fish fry.

[Fae]

They look like tadpoles to me...

[firebellygirl]

i hope so! i,ve moved the white cloud minnows tonight and I'm going to be moving the 5 adult toads to my 20 gallon tomorrow or Friday (gotta set it up first) so the tadpoles will have the tank to themselves. I hope to have some survive. I have never had tadpoles before and I have had firebelly toads for over 10 years!

[Fae]

good luck

Oooo, looks like you can send me some froglets then :P congrats.

[firebellygirl]

I figuire I can keep 5 or 6, so I can send you the other 95 or so! lol!

[firebellygirl]

Omar- i knew I bought those Turtle banks from Amazon for a reason! i also have an empty 10 and 20 long, so I could fill them up also!

[S13]

95 LOL. Good stuff, I still didn't order my turtle banks D: trying to budget until this next payday.

if more than 6 survive, I will be needing homes, so if you all pay shipping, I will send as many your way as you would like! Actually, I could keep 15, but I don't think my husband would be happy! I moved the 5 adult into theier own tank this morning since one of them was going after the babies. now the tadpoles are by themselves. I have been having so much fun watching them swim around. who needs a television!?!? now I hope I can keep the majority of them alive.

Day 2


and one of my pom, Tucker because I was feeling guilty taking a zillion pics of the tadpoles.

[Fae]

Awww I love your Pom! I have one her name is babygirl. Poms are the cutest! And hey I'll take a few of your toads when they're ready! Just let me know about costs. I'm jealous I wish I had a female FBT. Mine are ALL males! Hehe

[S13]

Yeah I'll adopt some too. I'd rather do this than get them at the shops. Just let me know how many make it by the time they are able to be shipped and I should have their set up up and running by then.

[4mb3rNich0l3]

Let me know if most survive and need homes. Ill gladly pay for shipping they appear like healthy little tads!

Oooo, looks like you can send me some froglets then :P congrats.

Oh, I'll take three

[firebellygirl]

so far, so good. I hope the majority make it. They are so fun to watch! I am a little nervous, today is the first water change since they hatched a few days ago. I will get some new pics in a few and post them. they grow so fast! I have been feeding them finely crushed fish flakes and brine shrimp. I ordered some tadpole food that should be delivered today. Also, they have been munching on my marimo ball (which is an algae ball)

[S13]
