Hi all,
I received some dart frog tadpoles at the end of August, thought it might be of interest to document their progress as I strive to raise them to adulthood. This is my first time raising tadpoles, so it's been a continual learning process, but so far so good. The basic premise is growing them out in tubs, to then morphing them into a grow out tub, before finally transitioning them to their tank. The species is Ranitomeya Variabilis Southern, otherwise known as 'thumbnails', due to their small size.
I'll attach pics of them in order, where you'll see the difference in growth from small, black tads, to where they are now with developing legs, colour, and size. I estimate they are about 2-3 weeks from morphing fully, but again this is purely estimative.
