Its most likely a bullfrog tadpole.

Thanks!
Any care tips on those? LOL

I've been feeding them fish flakes, but will buy algae wafers soon. They are getting really big.
Can they stand methylene blue and malachite green? I know salt is a big no-no with frogs, seeing as how they breathe through their skin...
And of course, the inevitable question: Can I keep them in my main tank until they grow legs? Their mouths are very tiny so I know they won't eat my fish.

Bullfrogs should be in a minimum of 10 gallons as babies, and take about 2 years to reach adulthood, which they need 20 gallons for the first frog and a additional 5 per extra frog. You can feed them algae wafers, shrimp pellets, flakes, bloodworms dried or frozen, and frozen brine shrimp. A light, filtration and hiding places also are preferred, dont release it into the wild.
I would be worried about them getting food and making sure they were free of illnesses, and if they can reach the surface for air that easily, but im not an expert on frogs so sorry haha.

Well 63g is more than the <1g they're in ATM, so if no one says anything to the contrary, I will plop them in. They oughta be able to breathe okay, they swim well and my tank is about 16" deep IIRC. Not more than 18", at any rate...
Thank you soooooo much for your help! *tacklehugs*
Sorry, I'm just like that
