Things You'll Need
- Tank
- pH test kit
- Saline test kit
- Water pitcher
Instructions
Transfer tadpoles from one tank to another carefully. The transition is perilous since tadpoles don't like water-temperature changes.
Match the salinity and pH in the water of the new tank to that of the old tank. It needs to match so the tadpoles don't go into shock. Shock can kill tadpoles in minutes.
Dip the test strip into the water of the old tank and match the new tank to it. You can pour the older water into the new tank or you can add chemicals to try and match the pH and saline balance of the tank.
Introduce the tadpoles into their new environment slowly. Transfer water from the old tank with the tadpoles into the new tank. Water temperature is critical and must be the same.
