Grif, do you think I should let him make the attempt? I mean I don't have the free time to care for thousands of tadpoles. I don't want to pick and choose unless it's viable to just take a few eggs. Cab this cause stress between the two and is there a chance of drowning?
I have a spare tank and heater if they need just the two of them. I'm kind of afraid to leave them unsupervised. I think I will separate the two in a breeding tank at lunch time from work.

Also he has been quite since I stopped the mating do they give up?
