This is my first post to this forum, let me introduce myself. My name is Gonzalo Castillo, 17 and i live in the Dominican Republic. i just collected some tadpoles from a little pond in a botanic park in the city. i placed them into a fish tank (without fish) and i'd like some help. i've been reading about food for tadpoles and the most popular one is boiled lettuce, i placed an air pump into the tank for oxygen. tadpoles swim around normally but i dont see them having a frenzy on the lettuce. is that normal? instead i see them eating from the walls of the tank and a fake plant i havein the tank. also i would like to know how to see the difference between frog tadpoles and toad tadpoles.
