Hi
I just found growths on 11 tadpoles!!!

I can't take a pic because my camera is acting up but it looks like a burn its red on some and others just bumps kind like boils or warts.
Please help I really don't want to lose that many tads!

What kind of tads, how old? How many cluthes have you seen from this pair?

Hi
They are D. Auratus and they are around 4 weeks. And this is there 2 or 3 clutch.

What is the ammonia, pH, and nitrite levels in the tadpole water. How are you housing them and what are you using for water changes?

Now all the bumps pretty much gone ! I don't know the ph but for cleaning I use a turkey baster. and they are housed in individual cups.

ok I thought I would bring this back up because the bumps come up every night then go down in the morning. Quite weird.

What kind of water and whats in it? What do you feed and how often?

Ok so I got the pics the pics are not to good and it probably doesn't help that i just feed them blood worms
I used aged tap water and larger plactic cups and i feed them veggie fish flakes on day and blood worms the next.

Almost looks like ICH, but could just be their spots, but i have yet to see any spots come and go on my auratus... My guess would be ICH, but wouldnt gurantee it. As far a cure goes i cant say what to do, but with fish i add methane blue to their water or add a little bit of aquarium salt, but i have yet to use it on my tads so not sure what would happen... Good Luck and keep us posted!
