& In Aquarium Plants by Rataj and Horemann, they suggest using tadpoles as
& algae eaters. Any one have any thoughts on this idea. I am getting
& frustrated looking for SAE's
"tadpoles" is a pretty broad term. Most will eat aglae, some species
won't. Some change into frogs within a couple weeks, other take up to a
year. At least in Northern California Bullfrog tadpoles take most of a
year to change, in a warm tank it might happen faster. Bullfrog tads
can also be 6" long and I'm not sure what they eat. And then what do
you do with the frogs? I haven't tried this...yet.
