And also how do i prevent cannibalism?
They eat so fast so i just leave some boiled cabbage overnight and fish food on the morning like 10-15 crushed flakes......
If i feed too much then i might kill the tadpoles of overeating D: , what should i do? and also is 100 tadpoles in a 30 gallon tank ok? i have also some plants for them to hide......
So how do i prevent cannibalism without overeating ?
the tadpole is a rana erythraea ( Asian Greenback Frog)
Hi Jerome,
Switch from cabbage to boiled (in dechlorinated water) romaine lettuce. For extra, freeze into an I e cube tray with the water you boiled it in. Then you can keep the lettuce ice cubes in the freezer for longer. The set-up should be okay, but you'll need to do weekly water changes to keep the nitrates down.
