    I didn't know the water level sped up the process. What gender will you get if you lowered the water level?

    I'm not really sure the changes the gender. If anything it maybe the temperature. But it may not even do anything at all. Lowering the water level forces the tadpoles to morph faster than normal. It's best done with a bright light that makes the water level go down slowly. This apparently sets it in motion to morph sooner or face dessication.

    I'm hoping to get larger specimens by feeding more food. Decided it would be a better idea.

    I meant speed up the process not change the gender, I should recheck what I type lol. How long does it take to morph from tads-toads naturally?

    Depending on conditions= 1-2.5 months. Speeding up the process= I'm not really sure.

    That's about normal for most frog species I think.

    I think so. Warmer climate may speed it up. I'm not entirely sure what actually speeds it up. I heard chloramine algea does(SP?).

    I don't know what chloramine algea is, is it natural because if not I wouldn't trust it.
