Thank you all. The lady who sold me the frogs told me they were pretty docile but I know that there are exceptions to that (and it seems that she is sitting in my tank, lol). I scooped him out with the container so the water was the same as the water he was in. He did jump out of the container before I could put the lid on so that was probably stressful for him and probably made things worse.

I'm not too optimistic about the tadpoles because I've never done this before but I'm going to do my best! I appreciate the link- this is exactly what I have been scouring the internet for.
