According to the literature I have, the tadpoles like to lay on the ground. It might be an idea to put some leaf litter in the tank, that the tadpoles can hide if they like to.

I am feeding them "Tetramin Tropical Flakes" they have a voracious appetite. They spent most of the time on the surface looking for food as you can see on the video, but it might be a good idea to put some leaf litter Martin, that will also help to avoid the tadpoles from eating their own feces.
