Eating enough?

I put an airstone in my newbie tadpole setup, dont think itll hurt anything, and then i at least have the peace of mind that the water will always have oxygen in it.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Not sure how much more I can fit into a tiny 5 gallon though!

Raising tadpoles is a lot like keeping fish. All the same rules apply. I would maintain the pH at around 6.8. Only feed what can be consumed in five minutes. Too clear the water, they make clarifiers available in most pet stores. If the tadpole can easily free itself from the filter then is shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Kurt. Poe rests in the strangest places, including underneath, on top of, and inbetween the filters. Does a lot of swimming and eats pretty much every bit of flake food I have put into the water; doesn't seem as keen on the boiled lettuce and spinach though. I never used an air stone with my fish, so I think, for the time being, I will leave it out. Water appears clearer today though Poe has already had two feedings.
