Good evening everyone!

I recently had a chance encounter with a dart frog breeder with tadpoles available. After a lot of thought, and a ton of research, I made the decision to go ahead and go for it. I realize that this probably isn't the smartest thing for a beginner to do, but I never claimed to be all that smart![emoji6]

I'll be getting five R. Variabillis Southern tadpoles this Friday. They are about a month old, UE stock if I remember correctly, and are F3's. The breeder was found through dendroboard and has been vouched for by another member who has bought frogs from the breeder.

I think I'm ready for the challenge, but would like to run everything by everyone here. Basically a final checklist before I actually bring them home.

I have all of the necessary items, food, almond leaves, blackwater extract etc.so I think I'm good there.

There's a ton of information out there on how to raise tadpoles, different methods an such. Currently this how I have it set up, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING WRONG, better now than when then later right?

I have five plastic cups, with 4-6oz distilled water, java moss and duckweed. Indian almond leaves will be added once they arrive.

They are housed in a ten gallon tank that I use as a greenhouse. The temperature has been 71-75 inside the tank. The cups do not have lids, but the tank does.

Here's some pics...




Any suggestions? Different cups, less stuff in the water, and so on?

Thanks,
Abran
