tadpole tea and blackwater extract

[flybyferns]

Hi Lynn:

Yes, you can use a commercial blackwater extract, however it would be better to make your own. There are plenty of recipes on the Internet. The acidic water has properties that help prevent bacterial and fungal infections. My Surinam toads like blackwater too!

I don't know any xanthic red eye owners.

Hi--- Kurt,Terry and Wesley,
I received my Indian Almond leaves from Josh's Frogs. They are large. I didn't expect that.
Packed very nicely!




NOW! I just have to figure out how I am going to approach this ?

I store ( 5 gallons at a time ) of treated water for adding to the "froggie spa" areas in my enclosures.
My frogs soak there---- NOT in dishes. The froggie spas are small sections of water on the bottom that are filtered. I have this water area covered w/ plexi to create a shallow pool. Water changes are done when needed. But, most of the time the water evaporates quickly and is just replaced w/ the stored water on hand. I was considering putting small pieces of the almond leaves into the containers? Or, should it be done more scientifically than that?
