I was just feeding my FBTs, when I looked in the water and saw EGGS!!! They're little half brown/half cream colored eggs with clear "cells" around them. They're all over this one plant and in a couple of other places, too.
What do I do now? Should I move them out of the tank? Won't the big frogs eat the eggs, or the tadpoles? What should I put them in? All I have is a medium sized Lee's Kritter Keeper...but I don't think that's big enough. Should I buy a tank? I know I need to...but how soon do I need it? I'm thinking right away, but I don't know. How big a tank should I get? My nearby pet store has a 20 gal. long that I can afford...would that be good? Could I raise the little toadlets in that?
How soon with they hatch? What should I feed them when they do? What do they need? How should I set up their tank? How much land? How deep of water? What sort of filtration? Any gravel? Lots of plants and rocks, right? What kind of light? When do they start going up on land?
What should I feed them? How fast do they grow? How do I know when they're big enough to eat new food-stuffs? Does their tank need to be heated? What temperature should they be kept at? Warmer then usual? Cooler? My tank now hangs between 68 degrees F. and 71 degrees F. I know this is a little cool, but the pet store said it was okay for the ones I've got. I trusted them, because I figured that if they weren't trying to sell me a heater then it must really be okay. But the babies...they might need warmer. What temp should they be at?
And what about the mom? She is understandably thin and tired...I feel like she needs something special to help her get back on top. What should I do for her? Plus, the dad doesn't want to leave her alone. As I said, I don't have any other tank to put him in...is there anything I can do so that she can have a break and recover?
I'd really appreciate any and all help. Comments, information, resources, recommendations, e-mails, and any and all help is VERY welcome. Thank you!
