1, tadpoles need a specific living environment: tadpoles need water and oxygen to breathe, and they also need conditions suitable for their growth such as temperature and PH value. If there is no proper environment, tadpoles may die or their growth may be hindered.
2. It takes a lot of time and energy to raise tadpoles: tadpoles need to change water regularly and clean the feeding box, which may become a burden for busy families. At the same time, the growth process of tadpoles needs weeks or even months, which requires patience.
3. The food source of tadpoles is also a problem: tadpoles mainly feed on algae, plankton, zooplankton and Daphnia in the water, but there may be none at home.
4. May be attacked by natural enemies: If tadpoles are not properly cared for and protected, they may be attacked by natural enemies, such as snakes, cats and birds.
Morphological characteristics of tadpoles
Tadpoles are the larvae of koala amphibians. Aquatic larvae of frogs and toads. Compared with salamander larvae, its body is short, oval, its tail is wide, its mouth is small, and there are external gills on both sides of its head, which has respiratory function. The inner gill is covered by gill cover. Light-colored, slightly round or oval, with a long tail, flat side, no limbs and internal gills, frog tadpoles have their mouths at the front end of their heads. Tadpoles of toads with black body, shallow tail, oval shape, short tail and mouth in front of their heads are called tadpoles.
Toad tadpoles are black, and their mouths grow on the front of their heads. Frog tadpoles are lighter in color, with a mouth at the front end of the head and a sucker under the head, which can be adsorbed on aquatic plants. Toad tadpoles are smaller than frogs. The dense group are tadpoles of toads, mostly tadpoles of frogs.
