    Congrats! Mine started to morph too. But unlike yours they are quite thin at this time, only a few weeks later become fat/muscular. I think maybe the tadpole food is not nutritious enough (?) (spinatch, turtle food, krill and green asparagus liquidized). Also the fully morphed ones attack and kill ones with tail (I have a separate tank for froglets, but I put almost morphed "frogpoles" in it too until the first lethal attack). I got hundreds of tadpoles but even if I separated them into several tanks and containers with adequate water parameters, many of then doesn't grow and slowly die off. Next time I may try to save only a handful (I could sell them all if all thousand animals would have stayed alive until and after morphing, that's not a problem). My light coloured ones are seem to be golden albinos with black eyes.

    xxianxx: some people say their tads died off caused by malnutrion/liver problems because spinatch, but some say it's ok. I thought it won't hurt to combine it with some seemingly nutritious stuff.

    I fed my tadpoles spirulina tablets and algea tablets crushed into powder.
    Once they become little frogs I feed them frozen bloodworms.
