California Tree Frog Tadpoles

[Katieasaur]

Got them out a rapidly drying pool but couldn't exactly put them into a rushing river. They are now at home with me and any advice for info on caring for them would be greatly appreciated.

They should do well with pretty standard tad care. Set them up in an aquarium with shallow water (6-8"), feed them a quality fish food and just watch them grow. When they pop out their front legs they can be moved to another tank that is half land and half water with lots of sticks, plants, or other climbable items to help them leave the water when they are ready.

thanks yah its the cheapest way to have frogs, just get everything you need from where you found them lol they keep trying to clear out the canyon though and let a TON of water out of the damn and its just killing everything when ever they do that, it really suck

yeah, I would have looked more but I fell into a very large cold pool of water and of course being the klutz i am hurt myself so hopefully ill be ok enough to go back tomorrow

[Katieasaur]

should I maybe put a sponge filter in there? cuz they keep hanging around the surface of the tank...or maybe even an air stone

[LilyPad]

That's what I would do! They like oxygenated water!

[Katieasaur]
