What is ‘that’ swimming in my tank??

If you have a male and a female African Dwarf Frog in your tank, you may just notice one day that there are tiny black things swimming around.
Well, don’t panic, your African Dwarf Frogs have mated and given you some tadpoles.
Try to separate them from the adults as soon as possible. The adults may mistake them for food!
It might be easier to move the adults to a different tank for a while, because your tadpoles are very small.
You can feed your tadpoles a protein powder made for fish or ‘spirulina flakes.’
When they are a bit bigger you can offer them frozen blood worms.
Remember not to over feed your frogs. Do not give them more than they will eat in an hour or two!
You could consider selling the extra tadpoles to your pet shop or to friends.
The Anubias Nana plant gives your African Dwarf Frog lovely hiding places.
