[nickc]

I already posted this in another forum but I know a lot of you guys dont always check the other forums and i know you guys like monster frogs so i'll show you pictures of this guy whose living in my koi pond.

Pyxie frog's cousins from American can get huge too

Very cool frog, good size. Cool that he's in your backyard, is this part of the genus Rana family?

[nickc]

sweet frog. how big is your pond?

[MonsterPyxie]

jealous........

I want a pond

good lookin' frog!

Nice bully. Pretty soon he'll be going to hibernate. He is nice and fat ready for winter. Unless you take him in? Keep us updated. If you keep him indoors lets see the setup.

He is huge. I would like to see an African American Bullfrog. Dogs would go missing. Parents wouldn't let their children go down to the pond anymore. It would be awesome.

I would say its prob around 3000 gallons right now.

The pond is still in the process of being redone (for the third time now), during the past winter I lost all my fish including 12 two foot koi and a 8 pound albino catfish so decided to make it bigger for the last time. also added a stream



Also, this is what i have to deal with the whole time im rebuilding haha

[Jimifrog]

That is so cool! I want a pond now.

[MonsterPyxie]

love the bridge, are you building it yourself?

REALLY interested in doing this, but don't think it would work here in colorado. Ground it too hard, and too much snow/ice in the winter

[nickc]

yup everything is built by my brother father and myself. you'd be suprised how much snow and ice these ponds can take, you just need an aerator for oxygen and a heater to keep a hole in the ice for gasses to escape

hmm, did not realize that. Will have to look into a pond more. I have been dismissing the idea too easily. Thank you!

That is awesome. I want a pond like this when I get my own place.
