My summer with eggs, tads, and froglets

[DonLisk]

just awesome Don. but a question, why use blackwater extract? is it to make the tads more secure in their surroundings? oh, and why not just make your own extract from leaf litter? i have used that tetra stuff for black water tanks and i hated it. ok, sorry, that was more than one question

I started with the Black Water Extract because I needed something fast when this all started and Almond Leaves were no where to be found locally so I decided on the Black Water which was recommended by Black Jungle. The extract helps prevent bacterial infection in the tads. I put enough to the water to get it to the point of looking like a dark tea. It has done me well so i haven't changed.

I have about 30 Tads in individual cups now since I found out that once one or two start popping out legs they secrete a chemical that stunts the growth of the other tads.... was wondering why some grew and some stayed tiny tads so long. Now they all seem to grow at a similar rate.
