Hello everyone! I just wanted to add another update, in regards to my colony. Last Wednesday, May 18th, in the early to mid morning hours, my pair of Borealis bred. Unfortunately, I was away, and came home early evening, and saw the tank had a lot of eggs scattered thruout. I removed the parents, and set up the airstone, and I had initially estimated maybe 150 eggs, it didnt appear to be a lot actually, lol. But after 24 hou, already most of the tads had hatched, and I realized there were more eggs laid than I thought. They are all free swimming now, and I have begun the regimen of using powder & using a turkey baster to serve it in the water. It looks like there are at LEAST, 200-250 tads. I am VERY nervous & maybe even a little skeptical, of a lot fo them surviving. I am considering going out and getting another tank (a 15g or a 20gallon Long) Cuz I would really like to bring as many of the borealis tads to froglet stage. My last batch of tads, from the laevis spawning, I had them in a 20g High tank (about 100 tads - all of which grew & made it to frogpole stage---and only started dying off, when they were put in the small tupperware bins. I just wanted to share with you guys, and of course, I will be taking some videoclips & uploading them as well!
I'm starting my new project, with isolating my male x. muelleri, for a couple days, then tomorrow mid evening, I will place the female in with him, and let them be for a couple days... ;o)
