Here I will be documenting my experience with ADF tadpoles as I have found it difficult to find much detailed information on raising ADF tadpoles, with the exception of the excellent write up by frogbreeder that I found. It's been the main source of information for me thus far and has been sufficient to keep my tadpoles alive, although I wish there were more people who shared their full experience as well as it would have been helpful in my journey. Nonetheless, I hope that this journal will be helpful for others in the future if they happen to wake up to a bunch of frog eggs unexpectedly, like I did.
ADF tadpoles are said to have an 80% mortality rate, as they are very sensitive to water quality and temperature. So far, I have had about 60% in deaths, most occurring within the first two weeks of life.
Count:
Starting # of tadpoles: 110
Current # of tadpoles: 38

I hope they'll turn out alright. But maybe it's like this also in nature...?
