Most definitely!
Thank you! I figure it might not be worth the risk at this point. I found some ghost wood at a great price (if you're interested, it's from saveoncrafts.com). I'll probably end up using that!
Thank you very much for the information! I was thinking more along the lines of microbial pathogens, but the heat/lethality chart for termites was fantastic too.
I'm very interested in using some sturdy freshwater driftwood for a potential vivarium. Normally, I wouldn't try it, but I now have access to an autoclave--which should be able to get rid of most if...
Thanks for your response, Michael--unfortunately, after a few days went by without a response, I figured no one was interested. I ended up finding a web site that sells the springtails in bulk. I...
I'm having a little bit of trouble with mold in my gecko terrarium, so I'm in the market for springtails. If anyone has some extras to sell off, let me know! I don't need very many, since I have only...
Thanks for your input! The tank is in a very quiet room already, and I'll test the water tonight--although I've been doing PWC's on average about every 36 hours, so I don't know how accurate it would...
Thanks for your response! She has a lot of fat left, and I've been doing PWC's every other day (about 25% per change). I do have a Tetra 40i running on a 20L tank, so you may be on to something about...
Hi again everyone,
I know that it seems people are as stumped as I am about my frog's condition--but I just have to vent a little bit. This is Week 3 without taking any food. I even dropped...
Hi everyone, I am helping a friend set up a tropical forest enclosure. For the substrate, he wants to use a mixture of cypress mulch and Zilla Jungle Mix. He's quite worried about mites and such, so...
Some keepers have found that frozen bloodworms contribute to bloat, especially in ADF's. Unfortunately, I'm no expert but I don't think there's much you could do, except give him a "weak" salt bath....
It's essentially a special-needs creature now, and it had the good fortune of finding someone who actually cares about frog health. I would just keep it. Also, maybe I missed this, but I was...
Thank you very much for your reply! The temperature is usually 68 or 69. Unfortunately, I haven't tested the chemistry lately (and, unfortunately, it wouldn't help to do so now--I've been doing...
I finally got some pictures of the actual frog. Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday, when her condition was the worst:...
Anybody...?
Today, she tried to swim a little bit but seemed to tire out after a few minutes and went back into her hide. Her breathing seems a bit shallower than usual. I also think I've found 2...
Hi again,
The main problem I see is that your frog tank has been under-filtered. Rather than a filter rated for a 20 gallon tank, you should have found one rated for 40 gallon tanks. ACF are a lot...
Hi all,
Sorry for the double post but I wanted to give a disturbing update. I'm not sure what that white thing was, as it has been disposed of (not moving even once the whole time), but its...
Can you post any bloat pictures? How much water is in your tank? Have you separated the frogs? In the event that your water quality is too low due to inadequate filtration or PWC's, then it may have...
I was getting ready to do a PWC on my ACF's tank (20G long, bare bottom, Tetra Whisper 40i filter), and found a large white stringy item attached to a piece of poop. There's another piece of poop...
The OP didn't want B. orientalis. (For the record, though, I like them too!)
I nominate the Indonesian floating frog, Occidozyga lima. Although, I'm having trouble finding them myself...
I want to try my hand at breeding Occidozyga lima (Indonesian floating frogs), and I know that UVB lighting isn't used very often if at all for frogs. However, I also know that UVA light stimulates...
I'm no expert, but my money is on Dendrobates auratus.
If they're big, you could try pinhead crickets. Also, if you seeded the tank with spring tails or isopods, they will snack on those. Termites are also a popular food item, and ants are their natural...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some Indonesian floating frogs (Occidozyga lima). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much up-to-date thorough care information about them. I found some old...
I don't have a definitive answer with regard to ADF's and medication, but if you're concerned about it, then you can always set up a little temporary tank for it to live in. You could even set up a...
