gray tree frog -- habitat questions

[LilyPad]

I don't have much advice about tadpole care, but you could probably start the froglets off in a 10 gallon until they are a little bigger. Then, ideally, you should do 10 gallons per frog. I do have 4 of them in a 35 gallon though.

I am sure someone has a lot more advice about tadpole care though.

Have you read the care article? It covers raising tadpoles of these guys in detail.

1: That's hard to say and really depends on how many you have in the tank, how often you feed, and how warm it is. As a general guideline, if the water is starting to cloud a little then you need to change it.

2: I would get it ready sooner rather than later. You could keep 6 froglets easily in a 10 gallon (40 Liter) terrarium no problem.

3: Kind of answered that in 2 I think.

4: It sounds like your water quality is bad, and the temperature may be too high too. They start floating due to over activity of bacteria in the gut. The stress of floating kills them after a few days.

Thank you both for the quick advice. I have a stupid questionnthat I'm pret sure I know the answer to already....but I have to ask so I can prepare myself.

Is it okay that one of my tadpoles "sleeps" occasionally upside down on it's back? I noticed this 2x in the past 2 days, and when I think it's died, it flips and swims again.

Also, another quick question...will ammonia detoxifier work with tadpoles? I don't want to treat my tank with more problems than it already has.

Thanks!
