Maybe their not getting enough oxygen, buy one of them things that make air bubble go through whatever you have them in. Are you feeding them enough. That's all I can think of now, ask a specific question and I might eb able to help.

honestly i still havent figured out what type of tadpoles these are....
i know one of the worst factors in my tadpoles is probably their water.... i am so stumped as to how to care for them dealing w/ water changes
i have had frog eggs that i try to change their water and they die
i leave them in their natural pond water and they die
i change tadpoles into fresh water which has been sitting for a few days to become dechlorinated, but they die
and ive left tadpoles in their natural water and they die

this water is soo much trouble! i will take the advice for the air pump, but what else can i do?? i feed them just enough, they have light and shade and a good room temperature... im just so lost and i dont want anymore to die! please help!
