So i carefully removed the eggs and placed them on some artificial leaves. i then susspended the leaves over a 25L tub of dechlorinated water with a small filter running. once everything was secure i sprayed the eggs and covered the openings with a polly bag to retain the humidity. i will be spraying the eggs regularly so they do not dry out....

the eggs


suspended


The tub

24 hours on and the eggs are showing signs of development notice the area forming looks like a dot on the top of the egg.

Here are the pics of the tads starting to form.........

Hi rich i have a 25l tub with them susbended over to hatch into. i am using a Aqua El uni filter 360 as a filter, got it on a real slow output so there is not a mass current but enough to keep it oxygenated and clean. as they for they will be moved into 25L 50 50 land and water set ups. the final housing will be a series of 25l tubs with paper towle substrate and uvb bulbs.

quick question what temp do u heat the water to?

that sounds fine, temperature i used to keep the water with mine at around 24.c i found this about right any warmer and they morph quicker but are not as strong a froglet, you can go slightly lower this wont hurt they just take a bit longer to morph thats all.
only reason i asked about the filter is you dont want one that breaks the surface of the water causing bubbles the tadpoles gulp down the bubbles when mouthing at the surface and blow up like little balloons. just make sure the water return is right under the water thats all.
of course this is just my experience other people might do it different
keep up the good work
