African Dwarf Frog Tadpoles

[gonna_b_no_1]

Thanks to pegasus (merci michel!) I can finally show off a few pics of my tadpoles!







I beleive that this morning I actually saw the beginnings of back legs on them!  wooot!

I also now have a 2nd tank full of tads that hatched out yesterday.

Mom and dad are still laying eggs now....3 weeks in a row!  I'm starting to wonder if i should move dad out of tank, he's only thinking about 1 thing, and isn't eating the way he normally does. 


Can our boy froggie burn out?  Can the girls keep up with him?  Only time will tell in.....(cue sappy music)  "The day of Frogs Lives"

Pegasus came to take the pics, so all the credits go to him for that.

sigh...they laid more eggs last night!  I'm running out of tanks to put them in!

Thanks Francine, 90% of the eggs you gave me hatched yesterday. Now I see why you need green water to feed them.

Yeah, they're real little when they hatch out.  In a few days you can start baby brine shrimp for them.  After about 2 weeks you can try them with microworms

Yes, african dwarf frogs are aquatic frogs.  We've got a while to go before I can think about rehoming any though!

Clemme know when the time is right

Congrats on bringing them along this far.  I remember you had problems when you tried hatching them before. 
Would you mind sharing what you've fed them at different stages?  I'm curious and it would be helpful for any other folks researching them.

Cheers,
Laura

For the last 2 years, I've probably had them spawn at least 10-15 times and I've lost each and every tad at the 3-4 week old stage. 

I was fortunate enough to meet someone online who is helping me through this spawning.  It's the furthest I've had the tads survive so far.  2/3/07 is when these guys were laid. 

First foods:  inforusia, then moved onto bbs, then a mix of bbs and microworms.

This morning, I definately see a little pair of back legs on 1 of them, and a few more have little nubs where their legs should be

Let's see if pegasus can have better luck.  I have given him a bunch of eggs.   

My gang spawned again last night and I'm debating if I actually have the room for more tads

pm sent to you nissan 

Let's see if the little stud froggie has it in him for another spawning tonight  lol

I swear he's smiling every morning lately   lol

No eggs this morning but my boy was singing all night! 

Nothing like falling asleep to the sound of an african dwarf frog singing his intentions to his girls!

(yes.they do sing!!!)
