    I have like 1000 toads, fish, and lots of tadpoles at my pond in my backyard. If I walk near it, I will hear toads jumping everywhere. And If I scoop some water, I am guaranteed to pick up a tadpole

    As an aquascapist, I recommend that you purchase tap water treatment from your local pet store. Freshwater aquarium fish can be put into tap water that has been treated with treatment chemicals that remove undesired chemicals. This chemical has treated water for my fish and crawfish, and I feel that anyone who owns an aquarium for a freshwater creature should have this. It's not too technical - all you do is add a small amount in relation to your volume of water and let it sit for some time. It treats water immediately, too.
    Also, I agree with the pond water. BUT - here is the thing. Tap water will kill all the healthy bacteria you can find in pond water. The pond water the tadpoles came from will be full of essential bacteria that keep the water and plants, like algae, healthy and beneficial for the tadpole.

    • @MichaeltheRatMan
      @MichaeltheRatMan 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the surface area of the water, the number of tadpoles, and the number of aquatic plants that produce oxygen.
      I have had over 20 large tadpoles in one 20 gallon tank. They were very happy, and grew to be beautiful frogs.I had a clump of pond plants in with the tadpoles to help with the oxygen levels, but I didn't have a filter or pump.
      Hope this helps!

    • @MichaeltheRatMan
      @MichaeltheRatMan 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pond caught tadpoles seem to have a higher chance of making it to adulthood, so I recommend catching some of those if possible. Just grab a net and a bucket and scoop 'em out of the pond.
      For wild caught tadpoles, you can just release the adult frogs back into the pond that you got the tadpoles from. If you buy tadpoles online, from a breeder, or a pet store, you will not be able to release the adult frogs. Frogs aren't much hassle to take care of as long as you aren't squeamish with handling small insects.
      I actually just caught 50 tadpoles from a nearby pond yesterday. Some of them have little legs already!
      I hope this helps :)

    We had some tadpoles hatch out in my kids baby pool while we were out of town. I want to save some of them and raise them as a hands on science experiment for my kids. I have no idea what kind they are, I assume they're the little frogs (people call them tree frogs around here but that may be completely wrong?). I bought a 10 gal fish tank to keep on the porch. Any advice would be appreciated. I've read to use a filter and I've read not to and I've read use one with a sponge filter as you are doing here. Is that from the beginning or only when they reach a certain age/size? Same with food, I've read boiled lettuce, fish food, and nothing at all of there's no lid on an outside tank. I bought a small jar of frog food at Walmart but that may be completely wrong. I love frogs so part of me is just trying to save as many as possible (Another question, how many can I put in the tank?) and the other part just thought it'd be fun for the kids but I have no idea what I am doing. TBH I've even read several different kinds and different amounts of water to put in the tank. I figure I have to move them soon before they run out of air in the pool or it gets too hot (IDK?) so whatever advice you can give as fast as possible would be greatly appreciated!

Algae balls just arrived. Any suggestions?
