Default Re: ADF Tadpols

I have a 2.5 gal plant tank that has plant snippings and a piece of driftwood in it.It has an airstone but no filter. This tank is sitting in front of the window and always grows algae on the glass like crazy. About 1 month ago I added a couple of Japanese Trapdoor snails to keep the algae under control. Would this be a good tank to put these guys into? I am pretty sure infusoria is already plentyful in there. I currently have an unidentified baby fish in there. It's about 1 cm long (hitchhiked in the bag with the snails) I could put this fish into the breeder net and put the tadpoles in this tank. Other then that I have a 5 gallon tubberware box but no airstone or filter. Would that work as well? I can always take water (infusoria) from the plant tank and add it.
Did you ever succeed in raising your tadpoles? Of 1st and only attempt only 3 hatched and disappeared by day 11. I have gravel in the plant tank and was told that the tadpoles may have gotten trapped in the gravel. I can believe that since I'm sure the tadpoles are not any smarter then their parent.
