well.. update on those tadpoles... I had 9.. and now only have one.. the others vanished over night but i couldn't find them anywhere including inside the filter.. which led me to believe that the remaining tadpole was the culprit. Hope his siblings tasted good to him.... (if that is possible I couldn't find them anywhere and I couldn't find anything about tads eating other tads). So, now the remaining tad has turned into a frog and he is tiny and green (thought he was supposed to be grey).. either way he is cute. Please ignore the not so great pics but here are a few pics of the hopper...
