I'm not sure what kind of tadpoles they are but I have a thread from not long ago called "Id tadpoles" and it has plenty of pictures on it.
I have been feeding them by throwing in some; boiled lettuce, goldfish food, algae (collected on a sponge from my goldfish pond and squeezed in (also growing on rock)) and occasionally brine shrimp.
I can't tell what they are or are not eating so I put all of that in their tank and then do a water change at the end of the day.
At first I kept them outside in their tank because I believed that having them there would replicate the temperature they would be in in a lake but then I read that it's better to have them at a warmer temp (room temp) so they metamorph faster.
I'm raising their temp by about 2F a day.
Today after work I may go to the pet store and buy them some food if I can find it
Does anyone suggest I get anything else?
Oh and there is currently 5 1 & 1/2 inch tadpoles in a 15 gallon
