Large pebbles at the bottom makes for a challenge for these
bottom feeders. What with three square meals a day. One floating,
thinly sliced organic spinach leaves, as shown above and two
sinking. Some super small pellet sized guppy food that floats
for a second then drops to the service and crevices, which the
tadpoles will go out of their way to mine what they can get to.
I've tried cooked spaghetti squash, quinoa and banana. Of those
three the quinoa seemed to be the favorite of the three but again,
the quinoa would sink down into the crevices and in time if not
eaten will ferment and muck up what little water is available.
What ever algae accumulates on the pebbles and the sides of glass
helps. Multiple water changes through out the week, whether they
need it or not. That just comes from my keeping goldfish and
tropical fish as a kid. Lots of fresh rain water , well as fresh
as rain water can be. Besides it doesn't take long for this three
to four cups of water to start smelling like a swamp. Thes
mouth breathers probably don't mind but I don't want to take
the risk.
They are growing and will be looking for signs of their next
tell tale stage of metamorphic proportions.
