    Default Re: Gray tree frog tadpoles

    Sorry it took me so long to get back. Been sort of busy.

    I have more vids, but none that are particularly interesting or relevant to the issue of raising tadpoles. I can post details about what I did, along with some mistakes I made, and how you can avoid them.

    How many tads do you think you will be keeping? I had mine in two 10 gallon tanks, so about 30 to a tank. I kept the tanks just under halfway full, each with a small filter running. This is what my setup looked like.

    My tadpoles would start to turn green shortly before popping their front legs. Name:  20140628_222018.jpg

    I don't know if it was their diet, but many of my young frogs retained a brilliant green color for a few months after morphing. The six that I kept eventually completely lost the green, and stayed completely gray all the time. At some point I decided to experiment with adding a color enhancer, Repashy's Superpig, to their dusting regimen. I also started feeding their leftover tadpole food, Elive Algae Wafers, to the crickets. Eventually the frogs started getting much of their green color back. I have at least a couple that pretty regularly have some pretty brilliant green coloration. I can post some pics of them later.

    I'll post some info on my tadpole feeding regime later, hopefully tonight.

    2.0.0 Homo sapiens sapiens (K & C, the *other* froglets)
