I can believe how fast it is all happening! Good thing all the eggs aren't inside, or the house may burst at the seems! Can't wait to see some more pics...happy dance!

Actually think I might bring some more in from outside so I dont have too many at once. I will wait till these guys are a bit bigger then move them into a bigger tank first.

So here's the final photo from egg to tadpole. Im going to do a tadpole to frog development next.

When the tadpole hatches it sits on the bottom and every now and again has a burst of energy and swims around in circles. You can see yesterdays hatching's as they have a more rounded body.Yesterday's hatching's are swimming properly now. Ive just put a tiny bit of crushed up fish flakes to see if they are ready to eat.

I hope you enjoyed

New tadpoles are always exciting.

Thanks Tom . Ive done this a few times and it never gets boring. I know when my guys are going to breed because the male will call continuously from about 5pm each night for days before hand. When the calls stop then usually the female has usually come to him. I think she only does it to shut him up. Ha ha
