Saving Tadpoles for Feeding Fish

[Wailua Boy]

According to a study published in 2004(Global Amphibian Assessment)32% are threatened 43% experiencing population declines

Its common knowledge amphibians have been dubbed the "canaries in the coal mine" because of their sensitivities to pollution. Mainly due to their permeable skin, their aquatic/terrestrial life cycle and immune function.

He isn't talking about environmental pollution. He is talking about why tadpoles didn't survive longer in aquariums. They die because of poor diet as they need lots of algae...lots of them.

let me stop you....please don't continue this environmental pollution debate as it has no relevance to the OP's question.

The proper term would be indicator species.

Also in the U.S according to the USGS the rate is 3.7%. Here is the article- http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=3597#.VQcJq4Y8KJI

OP-take the info provided because this could get ugly.

That's all I'm going to post In this thread.

I didn't know amphibians were in a decline..interesting. I wonder why that is. My pond always gets tons of frogs and tadpoles. I used to feed my Oscar semi developed tadpoles and he loved them. Always gave them to him live and never thawed out though. Tried keeping a bunch in tank but they would never survive long

Incorrect, tadpoles tend to doing poor in aquarium if they didn't receive good diet. Some frog species are hardy that they'll spawn in a pond full of cow manure.

And this was your response

Tadpoles are cute and cuddly. Don't feed them to other fish. So fat and chubby. i want to pinch them, but not feed them. Bugs i don't have a problem with. They are so creepy.

like I said this environmental pollution subject has no relevance at all. If the tadpoles die in an aquarium, it could have lot of factors that caused them to die, than just water quality.
