Last night while feeding (which is done with a turky baster) a few mini tips of my frogspawn blew out from behind the frogspawn. They are to small to see if there is a mouth on them but they do move (expand & contract) there is a tiny black dot in the center of each.

If these are growing what should I do as far as mounting them?
For now I was thinking of putting some rubble in the cup with them in the hope that they attach themselves.


Pics were no good I'll try to get others

I don't think your frogspawn spawned. they need the skeleton to survive.

correct. its not spawning..
sounds like maybe budding, but i have no idea if frogspawns are even capable of this.. so im cant say for sure

From what I have found Frogspawns reproduce by budding at the stem, as well as "polyp drop off". These could have been buds at the base of the tissue that have droped of due to lack of light from the over shadowing parent.

yes, that does sound much more likely...

congrats on that, hopefully you will find some new ones growing.. :)
