I got this guy about a month ago. Hasn't grown any legs, but he definitely has an appetite.

Looks an awful lot like a Bullfrog tadpole to me.

I would guess bullfrog too. But it may be a green frog, I have trouble telling the difference without a size comparison.
As a funny side note, I just popped over here from spending the past hour on the frog forum, and the first post I read here is a frog post.

He's a bit too small for a bullfrog. I thought that at first, but he has remained the same size since I got him.
I am confused ( it happens regularly). Which one is it you want identifying? The latest picture seems to show some bigger darker tadpole with a smaller spottier one under it.

I showed the bigger one(A bullfrog tadpole) in comparison to the size of the smaller one. I'm trying to identify the smaller, speckled one.

Here's a belly shot. Not the best quality in this picture, but you can see the details. I'll have to get a face shot later.

Thanks for the help.
I was wanting to know what it was before it was a frog. Thanks for the effort, but it wasn't the proper information I needed.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside:Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation+1

Clareclare:Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?+1
