Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Product sources Rotenone

Pottsy - Are you sure bullfrog tadpoles are carnivorus? Where did you read or learn this?. As far as I know all frog TADPOLES have coiled intestines which indicates they are herbivours. I think they all vegetarians and eat mostly algae consisting of primarily periphyton. However when tadoles convert or metamorphose to air breathing, legs develop, horny jaws and teeth are shed, mouth widens, tail is resorbed and then young frogs hops onto land. During the tranformation the gut structure shortens and feeding habits also change to flesh eating.

PS Rotenone will kill only things with gills, i.e. those that are extracting oxygen from the water, non-airbreathers.
