Day 109 - A Clever Froglet

I transferred 3 of the 4 froglets out of the tadpole tank during today's water change. This brings the total number in the tadpole tank down to 24 and the number in the froglet tank up to 23. This almost marks, for the first time ever, the majority of the population living in the froglet tank rather than the tadpole tank. Tomorrow, I'll try measuring out a spot for the filter near the 20 gallon tadpole aquarium along with what I want to put it on that will provide a stable surface since I'll be needing to alter the setup soon when the the tadpoles reach a low enough number to transfer into the 10 gallon tank.

It's always fun to watch the froglets figure out new ways to grab more food. One clever little froglet has figured out that if they float at the surface while I'm feeding, they can grab a few pellets that haven't sunk yet. It'll be interesting to see if they continue to do so tomorrow. Much like the older frogs, the froglets tend to show mimicry fairly quickly if they notice a strategy working, establishing an equilibrium.

Current Totals:

23 - 10 gallon (Froglet Tank)
24 - 20 gallon (Tadpole Tank) [1 near froglet, 23 tadpoles]
