Day 33 - Tadpoles are still growing on schedule and all are looking healthy, even Squiggly and the other developmentally stunted tadpole, whom I shall now refer to as Strangelove due to its surprising regaining of mobility (as well as for the sake of brevity), seem to be growing. One particularly pleasant side effect of the tadpoles growing larger is that they have become even stronger swimmers, which allows them to swim away from the gravel vac if they get too close, I haven't had a tadpole try to swim up the gravel vac in at least four days. African Clawed Frogs are naturally strong swimmers, which is one of the things that makes adults such escape risks, these little can jump much higher than you'd assume. Always make sure you have a cover for your tank, more than once I've heard a frog bounce off the lid while young and flighty.
Also as a side note, I should hopefully be able to get some better video footage now that I've figured out how to use my GoPro. Despite having the thing for nearly two months, I only just realized the Hero 5 had a touchscreen after youtuber, Ronn Rider, showed it in a video. In order to save money, I bought the camera off of eBay and it came with no instructions. None of the guides I looked up mentioned a touchscreen and, in fact, several mentioned the only way to change the settings as being to download the terrible phone application. As a result of this, I've been stuck with the default settings (obviously I'll be experimenting quite a bit now that I know how to change them!) I will say two things in my defense. Firstly, the screen smudges so incredibly easily that I thought it was a regular LCD display and spent most of my time trying to avoid touching it. Secondly, I haven't owned a non-phone camera since the 90s and the only other person with a digital camera in my immediate family is my mother, who bought her's before everything had a touchscreen slap..
