CTF Tads...

bordercollie101 Jul 13, 2003 09:14 AM

I have what I think are cuban treefrog tadpoles. I dont have a picture so can some one give me some info on how to take care of them? Like Care sheets and a pic of what the tads look like so I can tell if they are cubans?

Go to the link where my friend has pics of hers at various stages. Why do you think yours are Cuban, by the way?

I had one of our Cuband lay eggs and have about 45 tads thriving right now. I have them in a 10 gallon tank with only an air stone and I feed them Frog and Tad bites, spinach (which they seem to LOVE) and frozen bloodworms (Another fav, they sworm like starving perana fish(sp) LOL) about once a week I suck out the gunk in the bottom of the tank and top it off with clean, treated water. (only about 4 or 5 inches of water in the tank) So far they are doing GREAT!!! A couple of them are starting to show toes as well!!! Here is a picture of one of them.

Oh yea, forgot they also like those algea sinking wafers for bottom feeding fish. Here's a picture of how much they like them.

(I feed them a small amount 2 or 3 times a day depending on how long it takes them to eat and how much is left in the tank)

I realized that my last two posts were kind of incomplete. I keep my tads in a 10 gallon tank with a heater (keeping temps 73-78) an air pump (or air stone) feeding algea wafers, frog and tad bites, spinach and bloodworms 2 or 3 times a day (watch how much they eat, judge by how much is left after about 20 mins... sort of like fish) About a 20% water change once a week with lean treated water. Try to clean out as much og the "gunk" in the bottom of the tank. If you do have Cubans, feel free to email me with any questions you may have. EllasMommie@yahoo.com
