Jedi Kaleo Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Found this tadpole in a class at my kids school in some pretty rough conditions. It was in about 0.25-0.5 gallons of murky still water. I volunteered to donate a 3 gallon tank with filter that I had laying around as a quarantine tank. When I took a closer look the tadpole, it looked to not be doing so good. It moves around but has a crooked tail and some kind of injury or abscess. I did not take water parameters as I was mainly focused on drip acclimation and transfer to a clean tank. Does anyone have advice as to what to treat with? Maybe melafix for bacterial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I personally would give it some time in good conditions. Tadpoles undergo so many changes he may be ok. Amphibians breath through skin and I am uncertain at what point this begins in the lifecycle or if it is from birth. Medication affects amphibians very differently. I have previously reached out to Josh Frogs online for amphibian questions and they have been extremely helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
