Here's something I caught locally here in California & put in my tank of guppies. Anyone know what this is? I do but I'm curious it anyone else does and recognizes it.

Guessing Tadpole turning into frog?

Yeah that's probably an easy guess since you can see the legs but this one is unique. This is actually an African Clawed frog tadpole. As a tadpole it filter feeds. Extremely fragile and if you need to catch it they recommend you do not use a net since & if you do you will probably hurt it during the process. Survival rate is 60%. This is an invasive species here in California. I had heard that there are places here that these frogs are living in. Bad for the enviroment as it will eat anything it can fit in it's mouth. I found a few in a puddle of water near a stream that was flooded by the rains we had here a couple of months ago. Tried to feed them various foods but almost all died. Threw 2 into a tub I had outside with plants and guppies. Just recently took everything out of the tubs and this one made it. Not only this tadpole but also one that already transformed into a frog. These are illegal here in California to buy/sell. I see these on eBay & out of state stores. Bad for the enviroment.

Cool!
