My tank has rather a lot of activity now. One would _never_ throw this many fishes into a tank this size. But now i've got a whole bunch of little tadpole swimmers that are cleaning the tank out and growing like weeds.

I'm glad I chose to put some sort of media on the bottom of the tank. I chose dark blue glass pellets. This apparently gives me just a ton of hidey-holes that collect food as well as provide a favored shelter for tadpoles. It is also a good background to view cherry shrimp.
I suspect the cherry shrimp are bummed at this point to see so many tadpoles invading the place.

One odd behavior. Some of them will race to the top, take a gulp of air, then race back down to the bottom. They don't have lungs yet. I wonder why some of them do that?

Very few of the first generation of eggs survived, but that handful of tadpoles are huge compared to the main population.
There are just a few eggs left to hatch of the third clutch but they will. The second, most numerous clutch hatched with almost 100% viability.

Fascinating to watch.
