thanks for your personal info! I went back and read the grays care sheet (duh - I find something new each time I read it), and your time frame was pretty similar to the care sheet (aka John).

At least your decision was spontaneous! My hubby brought home our tads and I'VE been the one doing all the research and work on the tank! I don't really mind, just like to be super prepared! (This forum is a godsend - I get consistent suggestions versus other sites)


I had a thought...the care sheet does mention transferring tadpoles to a shallow container with a slope when the 4th leg pops out. So, can I do that "early" to be on the safe side while I'm gone? I have enough containers that I can split them up so that they have their space to morph. The concern I have is tank quality at that point...my guys poop 24/7 these days! It is reminding me of my goldfish keeping days! I've read that I shouldn't disturb them so much because they are really fragile at that point.

Anyways...just a thought.
