WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RAISE AFRICAN CLAWED TADPOLES? please help. anything will help!!?

African clawed frog tadpoles are suspension feeders, meaning they need to filter out food particles in the water. I have raised several batches of these tadpoles, and here is what I used. In the pet store you can buy Spartina flakes, used for goldfish. Take the flakes, and grind them up as fine as you can. When you feed, dip your fingers in some water, then grab a pinch of the ground up flakes. Rub your fingers together, occasionally dipping your fingers in water. This will cloud the water and create a bit of a paste. You want the cloudy water, as the tadpoles will filter it out. You can also buy specialty food from dealers like Xenopus Express. I feed mine twice a week.
