Adventure with Tadpoles

Last weekend we decided it would be fun to collect some tadpoles from a local stream, put them in a tank, and watch them morph into frogs. We'd then release them back into the wild.

So, we went to a pond, found some swimming creatures that sort of looked like tadpoles (even though they were acting kind of weird) and brought them home in a jar. We spent hours lovingly preparing a tank and the perfect environment, and then carefully adjusted them to the temperature and pH of the new water. Finally, our new charges were swimming happily around in their new tank. 

All through this experience, Xam kept voicing his doubts. "Those aren't tadpoles!" he'd say. "They're mosquito larvae!" Sirk and Kire scratched their heads, but continued to believe that they were tadpoles. 

Well the next day, they would not eat the tadpole food, so Sirk decided to do an internet search on mosquito larvae. Wouldn't you know - Xam was right.

So, we fed them to the fish...
