My wife's tadpoles

My wife is a science teacher and does all types of crazy stuff. She found about 500 tadpoles in some standing water at the house and put them in Aquarium. Not sure if they were a mixture of different frogs but now they are getting bigger and growing legs. About 300 of them are brown and growing legs but there also is about 10 bright green tree frogs that are in there also. 2 have already lost their tail and are breathing oxygen but the others are swimming around. Question are they all gonna start turning green or is a mixture?

Mine as well. I'll show her this, she will probably want me to go hunt down some tadpoles for her classroom.

Perhaps ask your wife, the science teacher.

Have to admit. I wasn’t sure what I was walking into when opening this thread.

I can respect a teacher that cares and does unique/cool things for her students. Props to your wives.

I was hoping for a new fetish.

By the way I believe they are all tree frogs. Now there's seven green ones swimming around and 5 that have escaped

So you now have 5 frogs roaming about freely throughout your house?

Before I click this thread, I was going to ask if they were her tadpoles now or are they yours?

For those that have been worried about the tadpoles.
So the 300+ tadpoles are all tree frogs. They go from Dark brown to light green overnight. Some changed 3 weeks ago and some look a good ways off from changing.

Tadpole to frog metamorphis thing is fascinating.
We have a fairly new pond.We had about a qazillion tadpoles.We stocked it with bass fingerlings last year and wasn’t long no more tadpoles.

Very cool.

Wish they were bullfrogs but those are leopard frogs.
Cool to watch. Not enough meat to eat.

What kind of tadpoles are the solid black ones? Those are the ones I have in my pond in the ATL latitude (in the Spring and Summer, not this time of year like Mr Ft. Lauderdale).
