Thank you Drago �� Yes I saw your recommendations thank you and had also googled so been giving them softened boiled lettuce as well and part changing the water once a week. They were originally in river water but our water is ok as it’s filtered water from a spring. I took the cheats way and bought all in one tadpole food that contains algae and the daphnia �� Funny I thought they looked more like little crustaceans than eggs. Thank you for letting me know it’s water fleas and not mosquitos - in my ignorance I thought they were kind of the same. Anyway the taddies are keen on the daphnia and have eaten it. They are of a size now I can just see their little mouths.
