## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: If you break them up smaller the tadpole may eat on it but this would be alot for the lifespan of a tadpole, I would try bloodworms (freeze-dried or fresh) the tadpole can keep eating these after he turns into a frog and they're more easily eatin by the small mouth of tadpole

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: tadpoles eat plants, so since this is algae it should work.  these tablets sink, and I'm not sure if that matters. when they start to grow legs their diet includes proteins, such as invertebrates.  I would look for some duckweed since it floats

**Q: What's the xtreme mean?**
A: Not sure why the "eXtreme" is on the label.  The veggie wafers are two toned just like the package shows and my Pleco loves them.  We've had him for many years and he is now almost 12 inches long.  I assume this means the food we give him keeps him healthy since our previous Plecos usually lived a couple of years.  I think this is a good product

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: For the person who said you don't need to feed a tadpole - you absolutely DO have to feed a tadpole!! You should feed them healthy, nutritious vegetables like romaine lettuce, spinach, zucchini, all cut up into little pieces. Tadpoles love those sorts of things. Tadpoles need good nutrition to be able to go through the pretty impressive body rearranging they do on their way to frogs. The only time they don't eat is while they are in the final transition from big legged tadpole to frog - their stomach is readjusting during that short period of time so it can now eat crickets and bugs.
