Moss can also be used as food for tadpoles. Tadpoles eat moss and algae on rocks.

Tadpoles eat algae and plankton in the water. Tadpoles also eat mosquito larvae, dried noodles, minced meat, small fish and worms, and bread crumbs. Tadpoles are not fed for three days after hatching, and live on the nutrition brought by egg yolk. Feeding them too early will lead to their death. After three days, the activity of tadpoles increased obviously, and they began to feed when the gill cover was completely formed.
