Oh no the addiction is coming back!!!!!! Hello

[Joyszoo]

I had a neat group of frogs at one point- oh all the fun croaks. Now I am finally getting back into them and currently have 5 dwarf african water frogs. My youngest son now has the bug and wants a blue phase australian tree frog. All the neat frogs I have already seen this addiction may come back into quite the neat collection. Especially since I am allergic to cats and dogs now, have to find cool alternatives!

Sounds like ADD to me. Amphibian Dependency Disorder.. The only maintenance program for this is mass amounts of amphibians around you at all times.

[Joyszoo]

Thanks for the welcomes! Yes the fun of deciding what frogs to get based on the aquariums I have is my first challenge. Plus I plan on raising my own crickets so I will be starting a colony soon. I think fire bellies will be 1 variety now to figure out the other.........

Good morning Kurt! Wow... where's all the photos? Too busy answering all our questions to take pictures I guess, lol. That's a LOT of frogs, I could only dream of as many but then again who cleans all the enclosures? Yikes

[Malduroque]

Now Kurt, are you going to tell me that they are ALL in separate enclosures or do you do a little species mixing when you think no one's watching?

[Kurt]

There is no species mixing at all. Well, thats not entirely true. The White's live with some fish. There are five tanks that house red-eyes and red-eyes only.

[Kurt]

Good morning Kurt! Wow... where's all the photos?

In the camera I never bought.

[Joyszoo]

So far the collection count is now
5 dwarf african water frogs - now breeding and trying to raise the tads
5 green tree frogs
5 leopard frog tads
2 white's tree frogs
2 american bull frogs
1 pyxie
1 pacman
1 tomato
1 currently mia european green spotted toad

[bshmerlie]

Wow! You got all those frogs since April? You may catch up to Kurt after all. I still can't figure out where you guys keep all these tanks and still be married. I've only got one tank of Red Eyes and one tank of Fire Bellies and that's about all my marriage will allow.

My husband actually likes the frogs and prefers they take up the flat surfacess instead of the paper that would be there! lol
I really want to add peacocks and need to get mates for the singletons.
I was blessed with almost 30 tanks from a friend moving to Hawaii so I have plenty of room.

[Kurt]

You're so lucky.

[Joyszoo]

now if I can turn this into a profitable business ......
