Tadpole

Hey guys, I've had this tadpole for a little while now, just chilling in my guppy tank. I'm wondering if you guys could ID it, or tell me how to? Its just over two inches long, and about 3/4" wide.

Well ..looks like a tadpole ha.

I dont have any clue, but I've always found them so fascinating . Tiny sperm like specimen becomes a frog hah.

Its fairly common for leopard frog tadpoles to get mixed in with fish in pet stores. Did you get it from a local store?

It came from a wild-guppy delivery bag at my Petland petshop, in Florida. I am pretty excited to see what it becomes. I'll look up those suggestions and see what I can find for comparison, thanks!

Jarich how does that happen? Just curious.

Got a lateral picture. I think I've narrowed it down to two species:
Bronze Frog
Or, as Jarich suggested (good eye

)the Leopard Frog
I suppose only time will tell at this point. I do hope it is a Bronze though, as I've never known any before.
