On Last Tadpole

I had scooped up some Tadpoles that had taken advantage of some
standing water, twice this month. Yesterday, I witness perhaps the
one and remaining Tadpole in captivity. I freshen up this water with
some collected rain water along with an occasional feeding of some
guppy food, where in the past I've seen these Tadpoles gobble up.

Today I was able to capture this lone taddy.

 

My Tadpolarium as I like to call it is a compromised setup. Circulating

water provided by a aquarium filter prevents mosquitoes from  

breeding, not knowing if Tadpoles feed on them. Tadpoles may not

like the steady water flow that the filtering process provides, hense

the trade off, but they do get their exercise. They can rest on the bottom

where they can also scavenge for an occasional feeding of guppy food.

In the past, I've had them develop into toads, where as by then their

lungs have been well developed and they will then cling onto the

side walls before they fledge from their watery beginnings or are

prayed upon by who knows what. Other frogs, Anoles and perhaps

a bird or two.
