I've had really great success with azureus...heres what I do...

-Petri dish under cocohut(s) with just enough distilled water to cover bottom of dish.

-When I pull the eggs, I mist the lid and place it on the dish.

-I keep distilled water half-way up the eggs, until they're near tad stage. At that point I add water to nearly the level of the egg, so if a tad does hatch, it has some room to do its thing.

-I carefully remove the tad with a turkey baster and place it in a deli cup with about 1/2" of distilled water and place a lid on the cup... they're normally pretty motion-less for a week.

-After a week or two and the tad gains some size, I fill the cup with about 2" of spring water with black water extract (properly mixed in a larger container), and add a couple tad bites.

-I used to add moss for the tads to hide under, but later realized its not necessary for survival...but it sounds like a lot of people add it, or a leaf (for some water quality-type aid). I don't anymore, and its had no effect.

-Thats pretty much it, I use the turkey baster to suck out the junk every other week, and I feed em 2-3 tad bites every 7-10 days or so.

Im sorry I didn't answer your granite dish question, but Im not sure of what it is.

no, the turkey baster doesnt hurt them. Just dont suck em all the way up into the bulb or drop em from high elevations and they should be fine. And yea, ive read that these tads need to be separately stored. (im not gonna BS the reasons for it, I just trust what I read on here....most times

hahaha.... i believe it! theyre an aggressive frog (and I guess tad too) !

If you're talking about the clear type box where you could see all the divisions, im sure it would work but, you'd wanna make the sections (IMO) around 3"x3"...so it'd depend on the type of box. I'd be nervous though about one getting stuck under a divider piece.
