Tad issues

[fredsfrogs]

ok i have been watching my 1 week old green lamasi tad swimming in circles when ever she /he gets spooked...it seems she cant swim in a staright line .i do see some sort of a lump on her which dosnt seem normal..may be part of an egg ..or may be a twin tad not seperated fully ??????any body have any idias i would put a pic but dont have such fine lens.pls advise

I have had tads that swim in circles morph into frogs with no ill effects and I don't know what to say bout the lump

I can't say everything's okay without seeing a photo, but the erratic swimming sounds like it could be egg requesting behavior. I've noticed this with regularity. In my vanzolinii, flavovittata and highland lamasi tads. Don't have green lamasi tads so I couldn't be sure.

Could the lump be an air bubble? Does it stay on top of the water and struggle to swim to the bottom?

no she is able to submerg..the lump seems to be yellow in color..eating fine i am assuming as i have noticed waste and i am feeding her tadpole bites, to supplement in case parents cant provide as i have 7 tads in all of various stages...thanks all for the input. thats what make this place so cool
