i was wondering if tadpoles needed an air pump in their tanks to survive? these are just regular pond tadpoles... not sure what species yet... does anyone have any other advice on helping to keep them alive? thanks!

Tadpoles are SO fun to raise, I raise them every year from the wild and never have I used an air pump, I just change the water as soon as the colour changes even a little. BUT you never know. My two batches so far have all lives, I've only had three die on me out of at LEAST 200.

Here is my site I made out of it.
Hope you have fun raising them.
