A few days ago our pool was invaded with biblical amounts of taods and frogs coming out of nowhere to mate. The pool had been negleted ( 5 days late in cleaning so the chlorine levels were a little down)Needless to say I noticed some almost microscopic creatures and they were tadpoles ( just hatched unable to swim) I left them thinking it was my imagination. The next night more frogs, my SO told me that he was cleaning the pool on Wed and I needed to do something before he chlorinated all left in the pool ( meaning eggs and tadpoles) mind you this happened in 2 days. I saw what are tree frogs, large ( I am guessing Cuban) and MANY toads....
I bought a little net and tried to catch them....its not easy in a huge inground pool, I got about 20-30 but in the process of netting and putting them in the dish many died...I ended up with maybe 10-15 and for fun I put some eggs in the dish. I read online that some of the eggs were frogs and some toads...some of the eggs have hatched to my surprise. I put a piece of lettuce in the goldfish bowl I have them in, and also took about 3 flakes of tetra min and ground it to a slurry with water and put that in the bowl and they have been eating and growing and now the eggs some are hatching.
I am trying to find out what I need to be doing to keep them going, what to feed ( cubans and toads) and what care else I need. I changed 1/3 cup of water today and all seemed fine with it. I look at them with a jewelers tool as they are so tiny, I am not used to tadpoles this small.
Any help would be great. I just tried to help a few that I could...
Thanks
