i have a tadple in my guppy tank, still have lots of fry

i would amagine if it would eat them, they would be the premature ones....but in my betta book, it recomends adding a tadpole in there to clean up waste

but i moved him out yesterday, he is thinning out, and i htink i may see legs.... and he was floating near the surface....but i added him to a water bowl in my terrarium, that way he can develope and crawl onto land with out trouble

It might depend on what size of tadpole. I've seen tadpoles that were so small they were just dots and tadpoles as big as my hand.
