Okay, I don't ever encourage people to take animals from the wild but I collected some tadpoles because I want to see what species of frog or toad they turn into, at which point I'll release them.
I found them in shallow, stagnant water that was bubbling, green, and was full of mosquito larvae. So I've been keeping them in a critter keeper to try to copy the conditions I found them in but I'm wondering if it'd be okay to put them into a filtrated and aerated ten gallon aquarium?
The water quality would be much better, they'd have more room to swim and even though that all sounds like it would be better than a critter keeper, I wonder if it could actually be harmful since it's so different than what they were living in in the wild.
So should I not move them into the filtrated and aerated 10 gallon? Can harm be done by bettering their habitat?
