Breeding Pac Man Frogs

[mikesfrogs]

There are lots of different ways to breed them. I kept my frogs in the mid to low 70's for 2 months. Then used basically a "snake" rack and heated the tubs up to about 84 degrees. I fed them until they had good weight on them. I tested the use of a kiddy pool from walmart. They are about 5ft in diameter and 18inches tall. Took 1/2in pvc and constructed a rain system over the pool and attached the pump. I waited til a rain system moved in and put the frogs in the pool. 3 nights later my samurai blue pacman laid eggs. About 48hrs they were hatching. I did not raise the tadpoles past 2weeks. After my 2nd water change they all passed.

It is IMPORTANT to have warm water in the chamber for the frogs. I kept the water set for 82 degrees.

While you think you can condition and successfully spawn your animals, should you not be prepared, nor, understand the most simple
aspects of basic water chemistry, you may have doomed yourself to failure. Thats for ( Mikey )

We've been lucky so far and have not had a die off like that Mike. We've gotten eggs that were not fertilized, but once we get tadpoles, we keep the water clean. Daily water changes because they exude so much waste and we do NOT want them to tox out on us. I'm sorry you lost them. It sucks. ConVexity, good luck!!

Boy this thread is old.lol.

I looked at a few of the albino tadpoles and they have a bright yellow arrow on there back. I'm hoping they are solid yellow.
