You can use blackwater extract - I do. Just put a good squirt in a few litres (a gallon for example) so the water is distinctly tinted and you're good to go. The tadpole bites are fine food. A good pelleted fish food like I recommend in my thread on raising tinctorius is a smart addition to their diet.

And congratulations!!!

Yes, it was very exciting. It was neat to watch him sitting in the water dish wiggling his legs as they slid off into the water. They are very tiny.

It will be the first of many I bet - these guys never stop once they have started!
They prob wont eat for a couple of days until they absorb their yolk sac but I feed mine a mixture of tadpole bites, tropical fish flake, freeze dried bloodworm and sinking spirolina granules (all got off ebay!). They will take livefoods like vinegar eels and microworm too but I mostly rely on the dry food.

Good luck!

Thanks Mike. Your article was the first place I went to when I saw he was carrying around the tads. You're a big help...thanks for letting us post your article in the care section. It is the best care article for these frogs that I have seen anywhere on the internet....and trust me I think I read them all yesterday.
