Myself I use O.S.I. fish flakes that are high in Spirulina. I also use Spirulina poder. So far they seem to be developing fine. All my froglets are healthy and fat.

We use Spirulina, Chlorella, bloodworms, and occasionally a high protein fish flake food. We noticed that when we added the bloodworms to their diet the size of our morphing froglets was increased. We don’t really know of anyone else feeding bloodworms but we’d love to hear if anyone else is and if it has had the same results. They take more time to feed but they are gobbled quickly by the tads.

Ditto on the bloodworms for my FBToadlettes back some years ago. And they were voracious and strong because of the addition of this food source. Though not PDFs, I can tell you that I'd always add this food source without a doubt just to see the hardiness that developed out of it.
