A newly hatched tadpole lives off its yolk sac, which it retains from life inside the egg. It can do this from a few days to weeks. It also cannot truly swim, but sort of wiggles around (much like a mosquito larvae does) until it bumps into something solid. It then attaches itself to the solid thing and rests there while it consumes its yolk sac and continues developing. After it is done, it starts free swimming, properly this time, and finds food. Most frog tadpoles eat algae and plants. Captive tadpoles are often fed boiled lettuce or algae-eater fish food.
