It's been a week full of changes. In addition to adding the rocks from my creek that had natural algae, the tadpole tank has been modified from mostly water to 3/5 land. By the way: I cheated and used mesh-covered plastic crates beneath the gravel so that I wouldn't have to use as much. That stuff's expensive and heavy.
All but one or two of the tadpoles have become frogs and are feasting away on fruit flies and pinhead crickets. Not all are green tree frogs. There are a few grays as well. And ... there are more than I originally planned to hold onto until spring. There are at least 15. Maybe more. Tough to count with all of the hiding places I've provided.
Here's what the expanded setup looks like now:

One favorite hunting area is atop the wood slab. In the distance is a small dish of gut load chow for the crickets.

They love climbing the horsetails.
