IITUFFTOBEATII and I went out netting this weekend and came back with a big surprise. 253 bullfrog tadpoles and frogs. I think our aros, dats, and poly will be eating good for quite some time.

nice!!!
where did you find all those?
all in one spot or alot of netting?

they were all in one spot. we caught them all in just a few feet of shoreline. we couldve prob caught them all day, but we only took one 5 gallon bucket. we were pulling them out 15-20 at a time.

there is no limit on bull frogs here. they are an introduced species here and out compete natives. a small population can explode very quickly. at this time last year at the same spot we caught 3 or 4 at the most and even that was rare.

wow great job. just curious do you have to decontaminate them b4 feeding?

I keep a bunch of prazi pro on hand. i quarantine most of them and treat them for parasites. but i threw some in for food as soon as they got home, but i have started treating all my fish with prazi pro every once in a while.

I know TFW froze some of them. if they get eaten after defrosting we will prob go back this weekend with a cooler to stock up for the winter. 250 may seem like a lot, but they wont last very long and im not sharing the fish i catch over winter with my polys.
