December 21, 201015 yr comment_411559 Recently bought 4 new tadpoles to add to my existing 2 frogs and nine minnows in a terrarium, put them in and discovered that the minnows had bred and there are heaps of tiny fry and some bigger, must have been from more than one spawn. too many to count tho and heaps of ox weed and java moss in the water makes it hard. Does anyone no if the tadpoles will eat the fry? i assume they would. Report
