    Re: ACF feeding help & ideas

    Try ordering some sinking xenopus food from Xenopus Express. I have noticed that some frogs don't like going to the top to feed.

    Keep feeding night crawlers until you can get some sinking food.

    Re: safe aquarium deco?

    A filter is a must! Otherwise nitrites and ammonia will get out of hand. You will need to fully cycle the tank before adding the frogs. Cycling can take up to 6 weeks or more.

    Re: African Dwarf Frog - Chytrid?

    That is a fungal infection, but not Chytrid. Chytrid doesn't cause the fuzzy appearance.

    ADFs fair poorly due to several factors. First, they are bred in large outdoor ponds, which makes them the...

    Re: aggressive mating

    It is common for a male to hang on for long periods of time. He won't hurt the female.

    Clawed frogs require cooler waters. If you raise the temps, you will probably end up with eggs.

    Re: safe aquarium deco?

    I use playsand that I rinse very well.

    Like Michael said, river rocks allow a lot of detritus to fall under the rocks. This can lead to high nitrates and even increase the risk of pathogens.

    Re: species identification?

    They look like laevis, but it can be hard to tell at a young age. But if they are in a pet store, chances are they are laevis.

    Re: African Dwarf Frog Red Mark on Nose

    It's not uncommon for ADFs to rub their noses on the glass, as most are farmed in outdoor ponds and are not used to glass aquariums. Once they get a lesion, bacteria can set in quickly. I suggest...

    Re: ACF tadpoles with kinked tails?

    Kinked tails are really common with ACFs. Sometimes the reason isn't obvious. Nutrition, overcrowding and tank parameters are just a few contributing factors.

    I sugest switching to the tadpole...

    Re: Shedding Issues

    Have you checked the ammonia and nitrite levels? Sometimes high levels of either can cause similar effects. It is very common in new tanks.

    Re: Close call

    I've had that happen more than once. And the worst part is that they are so slippery that they are hard to pick up. A wet paper towel helps get a better grip on them.

    Re: Help! Strange ACF breeding behavior?

    I'm glad to hear she is doing well!

    Yeah, eggs can be a bit messy. They stick to everything. I let my females consume most of the eggs if it is an unplanned or unfertilized breeding. This helps...

    Re: Looking for ACF help ASAP

    I haven't seen anything like that!

    She is really old! 15 to 20 years is the normal life span in captivity. You must be doing an excellent job keeping her.

    Is she eating and acting normally?

    Re: ACF acts hungry, but spits out her food

    Clawed frogs need cooler water. I shoot for 72 degrees. The exception is X. tropicalis which can take water up to 78 degrees.

    Do you enrich the brine shrimp? You can raise the brine shrimp until they are 48 hours old after hatching. Add a very small amount of spirulina powder to the brine shrimp water. You should see a very...

    Re: ACF acts hungry, but spits out her food

    That's good news.

    What temp is her tank? Sometimes during the winter, the tank temp drops and frogs will eat less.

    Re: ACF acts hungry, but spits out her food

    It isn't uncommon for ACFs to go off food for a while. I find it more common for males to do it than females, but it still happens. If your frog is still fat and acting normal, there probably isn't...
