So recently i have been raising tadpoles from my yard. I got them from an outside bathtub which was over crowded with tadpoles, so i tried to make room. I relocated a good amount of them into my 20 gallon tank.
(I put some of their other water into the tank to make sure it wasn't too much of a shock for them) for food i have been feeding them mostly boiled lettuce and occasionally beta food. Almost all of the tadpoles are eating and healthy, and are beginning to sprout legs. Although, i have noticed a few are sick and dying.
I found about 3 or 4 tadpoles with their long intestine completely hanging out of them and were nearly dead. ( if i find any others like this i'll put the picture)
A few i have noticed have strange red spots throughout their body. ( you can see it has its on its eyes.)
I have also noticed a few are a bit bloated and can seem to swim straight. Im not too concerned with this because it often goes away a few days later.
Does anyone know what these sicknesses could be or what caused may have caused it? If you know of have an idea please leave a comment, your help is appreciated.
