Whatever you do don't put the tad in with other frogs. I made the big,huge mistake of putting four (unknown) species of tads in my semi-aquatic tank containing my Lithobates palustris. The tads thrived for three weeks then were eaten by my frog. I assume they were eaten because they disappeared completely. My intention was to remove them once they began growing their legs,but alas they never made it that far.I hate those life lessons like that. They did clean up the algae very nicely. Leopard frogs were always my fave as a kid.I also want to thank you for giving me a great insight on how to find new tads without slogging through streams and ponds under the broiling summer sun. I will be checking with my local pet stores to see if any hitchhikers come in with their feeder fish. Good luck with your new tad.
