Default Hymenochirus tadpoles

Has anyone here any experience successfully raising these tadpoles. I put together a small group of these frogs as a miniproject, and they've been spawning and producing the most adorable little tadpoles. Of course, I have been killing most of them...they seem to be poor hunters compared to fish fry and starve quickly.

Btw, I think these are really underrated by amphibian enthusiasts. I'm sure if they weren't so cheap they'd be as esteemed as the dwarf pipa species which they resemble. They are some of the weirdest anurans available(webbed front feet for one), and also produce really unusual tadpoles.
