The tadpoles were in an order of feeder goldfish we recieved and they turned into these frogs. I would just like to know what kind of frog they are so that I can take proper care of them. Any help would be appreciated.

The name of the frog eludes me at the momen, but set them up with half water half land. They are a species native to North America so they shoudl be fien with that for now. And feed them crickets and other bugs.

These look like my leopard frog except for one that has rows of spots running down the back which seems to be in almost perfect alignment.

Definitely Leos! They look EXACTLY like the ones I raised. One of mine had those perfect spots too. They are fairly easy to care for. A 20 gallon tank min for the 2 of them (bigger is always better) with 50 land and 50 water (about 3 inches of water will do while they are small). They burrow during the day so Bed A Beast or Cocoanut fiber for substrat with plenty of hiding spots. They are very shy and jumpy so expect them to dash for cover when you approach the tank. They will eat crickets, moths, roaches, house flies, meal worms (only offer occationally due to their high fat content) and just about any invert smaller than the width of their heads. I hear they also eat earth worms but I was never able to get mine to even take notice of them, perhaps when they are bigger.

Just do an internet search for Leopard Frogs and you'll get endless information on them.

Yup, they're leos alright. Where did you get them? The EXACT thing happened to me, and another frog person online who also lives in Florida. All leos, all silvery-colored feeder goldfish.

Looks like southern leoaprd frogs to me. they will do well in a 20g tank, half land half water deep enough for them to submerge if they wish. They can be fed crickets and earthworms from a non-pesticided site. I have one of these frogs, and it makes a nice captive; great appetite!
