      Well they eat anything that is available to them like seeds or plants that are available for them in the ponds and rivers. You can give them fish food that is available in the market so these tadpoles can eat any type of fish food.

        They are generally herbivorous, eating algae and plants, depending on the tadpole breed. Some of them can be omnivorous and will also eat other tadpoles when they might be available. Talk to a pet shop and see what they might recommend, because this tadpole will develop into a frog, and it's diet will most likely change. Hope this helps, good luck.

        Tadpoles eat their yolk sak around the egg and then start to eat algae,lettuce and other plants around them. Then when they grow legs they turn into omnivores and eat detrutis and some other plants. As they keep growing they keep growing the turn into carnivores and sometimes eat each other.

        When they are too little they eat jelly around the egg. As they would mature you should give them tiny pinch of crumbled, flaked goldfish food every morning. When they grow up then fishermen's maggots are their food that can be bought from a fishing shop.
