Hey everyone I would like to put a water feature like a pool for tadpoles. In hear about false bottoms and I cant picture it in my head. can someone explain or does any one have pics?please help. Matt

The first thing we need to know, is just which kinds of frogs are you considering. Usually with darts, unless they are either obligate egg feeders, or certain thumbnails that raise their young in bromeliad axils or some sort of equivalent, it is necessary to remove and raise eggs in separate containers. Most other captive darts won't successfully transport tads from eggs to a false bottom type pool. There are exceptions, of course, but generally, a false bottom for the environment is mostly about overall design with pools and water falls, rather than for breeding tadpoles. Tell us more about what you want to accomplish in more detail
