Dropping like flies...

I've had this problem too. The only thing that worked for me was to use a small air pump and do a partial water change every other day. I also feed them tadpole/frog pellets. Good luck to you!

Here are a couple shots... i tried to zoom in as much as my lens would allow so hopefully it gives some clarity as to what they are. I really do like your suggestion of moving them to another tank, it'll help them the most while the other slow growers get a chance to catch up. I still have the 3 little guys on land, one of which I had to scoop out of the water as it was just floating around in the middle of the deep end. I'll look to adding the calcium and feeding them the fruit flies, etc once they're moved.

I have a couple questions:
- Does it matter how much light you give them and/or the remaining tads?
- Is there a balance of how long you should raise them in a tank versus let them free? I don't want to keep them too long if it means they won't be prepared for hunting on their own, but I also want to give them a decent chance to mature.

those look like the froglets I have! I started out with 10 tadpole and 6 made it to the froglet stage. I found out that the couldn't swim very well so I transitioned them to a vivarium setup with a shallow dish with moss in it to let them get moist without drowning. I have tried feeding mine mini meal worms and flightless fruit flies. I am down to 2 live frogs. the others died with in the last day or so. I think they are starving to death. I have moved them to the food bowl when i add insects for them, but they hop away. I too am at a loss. : (
