·In the past two months or so I've gotten about 20-30 tad poles from my vents. Several of them lately have died =/ I'm not sure why, but I have noticed some different behavior from the ones that ended up dying. They seem "listless", now most of the tad poles I've had/seen don't seem incredibly active but they stay on the bottom and stay '"right-side up." The tad poles that have been dying seem to float and maybe rest on the bottom, I'd think they were already dead but every once in a while they shimmy/squirm (almost like a tad still trapped in the egg sac).
I've been keeping them with a little bit of java moss and suriname almond leaves occaisionally feeding them tetra min flakes. The "list-less" ones are normally that way before they get much bigger than what they were in their egg, and normally haven't been fed yet (maybe once).
Since they're newly hatched at this point I can't think its a water quality issue? besides other tads in identical conditions seem to do fine. Is it possible they are choking on remenants of their egg sac?
Has anyone else seen this before?
thanks for any responses,
-Tad
