I'm assuming they have front limbs- if this is the case then set-up that 10-gallon within the next day. I use round river gravel to make a gradual slope so that when the tads are ready to morph they can go onto the land section. A small sponge filter is helpfull in keeping the water clean. I have also noticed that they tend not to eat anything after they get their front limbs so feeding is not needed. In terms of grouping in morph-tanks, I have had no problems in keeping them together so good luck. Start putting in some flies as soon as they absorb all of their tails.
Have fun,
Justin

Hi,
I also have my tads in deli cups and when mine are at the stage yours are at I dump them into a shoebox that is sloped by putting a peice of wood on the bottom of one side.When they lose their tails completely I set them up in shoeboxes with paper towels and a cutting of potho and a small cork cave.Good luck.
