Need help IDing a morfing tadpole

[jpryorx2]

Just before Christmas we bought a tadpole from meijer, they recived him by accident so could not tell me what kind of frog he will turn into. Here we are almost 2 months later and he started morphing about 2 weeks ago he started growing back legs, then this morning my husband notices he is getting front legs, I just checked yesterday morning and he had no front legs from what I could tell. Can anyone help me figure out what kind of frog this is, from what I have read you can drown a tadpole if it is not a water frog. We have him in our gold fish tank and I need know if I need to get him his own tank if he needs to get up out of the water. He is about 2 inches long, green with dark spots on his body including the top and bottom of his tale and light colored belly. I have been taking pictures at every step/ attached below Is he a water frog or a land frog?? thanks for any help I can get. My avatar and profile pictures are him also

Hi, I can't tell what kind of frog it is (Sorry I only know about Costa Rican frogs)

You might need to get other tank for the tadpole so it wont get drown when it becomes a froglet. I have raised several tadpoles so I spent some money making the tank. I created a slope that goes from the water to the land. But as is only one tadpole, you can fill a small tank with water (tadpole safe water, dechlorinated, no heavy metals...) and place a round sterilized stone inside it, so the upper part of the stone is out of the water, that has worked very well for me.

REMEMBER TO PUT A LID ON THE TANK

Does the water in the tank need to be filtered or can I use one of the shoebox size plastic tanks wit a lid and put a rock in it?? I ask this because I already have one of these tanks, that is empty right now. and the closest store is 50miles away. and I am not sure I can get there this week. thanks for the info

yes you will have to have a tank . Because the tadpole still needs its water yet if it wants it still need to be able to get out of the water and reach land some how . General rule , if the frog has fronts give it land , it will want to use the fronts

I know I need a tank but does the water need to be filtered, and can it just have a few inches of water. I have a plastic atnk that is 4 inches deep by 12 inches long and 8 inces wide will this work?

I would think so. I personally would go with something a little bit deeper , depth and length are good. Doesnt need to be filtered just clean the water everyday because it might get dirty . Also make sure the water is de clor before having the water touch the tadpole .
