      The tail will not render when viewed in spectator mode, or when the entity is on the same team as the player.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Spawn a tadpole
      2. Make it invisible: 
        /effect give @e minecraft:invisibility infinite
      3. Change gamemode to spectator

      Observed Behavior:

      The tail of the tadpole will not be visible when looking at the left-hand side of the entity:

      Expected Result:

      The tail would be visible at all times, regardless of the entity's effects, or the gamemode the player is in:

      Possible Fix:

      Add a 'backside' to the texture of the texture of the tadpole's tail. Here is a resource pack which demonstrates this fix (could cause z-fighting):
