    Post Brown tree frog from egg to tadpole, will update

    july 23rd litoria ewingi eggs obtained and taken home via bus and 30 minute walk which mixed the water up and shaked the eggs around also when i tried putting the eggs in the bottle they slid over the side of the bottle and i had to handle them a lot but managed to get the goey egg mass in the bottle and besides the rough handling they all seem to be developing, also one very small tadpole not active probably a few days old from a different egg batch water temp 11 degrees C not good lighting conditions etc for clear pics:



    july 24th water ph photo and temperature 11 - 14 degrees C

    july 26th closeup of egg developing and water ph water temp 8 degrees C at night on 25th and 11 degrees C in day :

    27th water temp 11 to 14 degrees:


    july 30th now 3 tadpoles have left the clear 'jelly' stuff they were in, water temp 16 degrees C today ph the same also a new pic of the random tadpole from another older egg clump which is still just sticking to things but fatter and darker swims around in circles then sticks to something for a long time:





    31st july tadpoles are still quite small 0.75 cm from tail tip and still inactive just swimming to a different spot occassionally, water temperature 10 -16 degrees C, ph still 7, 10 hours natural but not direct and shaded light and terrarium then gets about 7 hours of light from six 18W 'cool white' flourescents:
