The tank has 6 tadpoles, 2 large and 4 smaller. They have recently started to go quickly to the surface and blow a bubble, then swim down again. Why do they do this? The bubbles are along the water surface and edges of tank.
Thanks!

first of all use water from the pond. then u do not would desire to tension approximately ph. if it is grimy be certain u clean the filter out cartridge a million time an afternoon to get the airborne dirt and airborne dirt and mud out. use gravel and dont placed fish in the tadpole would consume it or it might desire to consume the tadpole. be certain u placed some stay flowers from the pond in nevertheless u may additionally put in some plastic ones. wqhen he will become a frodrain out the water so as that he can sit down on the gravel. make him a miny pong in there and save the plastic flowers in the gravel yet placed the pond flowers in the water. u can feed him fish flakes or tadpole food. yet maximum puppy shops do not sell it. and that they only feed theirs fish food. feed it crickets whilst it may hop. ruduce the water ranges progressively. feed it 2 cases an afternoon. p.s. love the call!!8D

They are getting a breath of air. you may want to change alittle of your water as you maybe getting a protein or rather a nitrate buildup that is causing the bubbles not to pop
