Can be they died because they pooped into the water and if you have no filter you should replace most of the water daily.
I went with my father to collect frogspawn from the ditch. Lots of children did that. We had plastic containers that belonged to the aquarium. The spawn was kept outside and did very well at first. It's fun to see how tadpoles develop. One day, everything was gone. I don't know if they had already turned into frogs and jumped away, or if my mother had thrown them away because she thought they were dirty, even though she was always busy with the aquarium and had a type of frog in it too.
When I was a girl of about 9 years old, I saw in a river, many fish swimming on the shore. I picked up a container and took several of them from the shore. I took them home. Then my older sister told me what I had taken were tadpoles, which were not fish. I think he threw them away because I never saw the container with them inside again.
But they are so cute. I assume they ended the same way as mine.
I figured he threw them away. Who would think of bringing tadpoles home as if they were fish, hehehe. Just me.
And me 🤣
My fish may have died because of that. I cleaned its makeshift tank occasionally, but since it didn't have a filter, it got dirty very quickly. Perhaps that was the reason.
Thanks for sharing your story. I also enjoy watching tadpoles develop, but when they grow up and become frogs, I prefer to keep my distance. It's amazing to know what you were able to observe after collecting the tadpoles, since you could better observe their development. Although it was a shame they disappeared, tadpoles are great amphibians, and it's quite a sight to see them grow. Thank you for leaving such a kind comment and sharing such a wonderful experience. See you later.😀
