Spotted Marsh Frog

[CatherineM]

Jared, do you know how fast southern brown grow?

[Striped marsh]

If it is 2.5cm long it's not too far away as they grow to about 4.5 cm long on average but I'm not sure how long that will take.

I have a question hoping someone(s) can answer.

I have a tabpole which is different in the underside colouring then the rest. It has a silver underside. Do spotted marsh tabpoles ever have silver undersides? Its the same colour elsewhere as my spotted marsh tabpoles thou its also got none of that freckled or dappled look on it yet either.. so is plain in colour (but pretty with its silver underside).

Anyway.. interested to hear any of your marsh tabpoles have silver undersides? or is this likely to be something else thou it blends with other tabpoles I have on the other parts of its body Another kind of marsh frog??? (the two types of frogs I have, I was given from outdoor pond 10 tabpoles which were supposed to be spotted marsh (some certainly are that) and I had 2 tabpoles which I was told were "local marsh frogs" whatever those are.

Silver undersides??

Nothing to be concerned about just colour variations, in my experience with marsh frogs anyway when it morphs you will know for sure what type you have!

Do you know is there anything which separates out the difference between marsh frogs and other kinds of frogs?
....

Also Im wondering can one type of marsh frog breed with a different species of marsh frog?

The pattern is the thing you will be able to use for identification as with most, check the frog species in your area marsh frogs are different from most Australian frogs so it is pretty obvious when they grow , also there is always a possibility that could happen but it would be rare.

My best frog pic. so far , here's a photo I took yesterday of one of my baby frogs.. spotted marsh frog I assume, unless someone tells me otherwise... (its still got a wee bit of his tail). Im currently making a bog area for the frogs.
