I went to my dollar store, expecting just to get some cheaper cleaning products, but soon found they were selling poor little ACF in little water glasses.
Being the male-Pocahontas I am, I just had to save them from the evil pet store.
Things went smooth for awhile, until my one died of bloat. I ended up feeding them bloodworms and it looks like that was the most likely cause of the bloat. Regardless, I treated my other one with antibiotics and salts THEN rescued another one.
Right now they are in a temporary tank that is 2 gallons. I've been doing water changes nearly every day due to the lack of space. Is this excessive?
Also, when I move them into the larger tank (they are still froglets) is cycling really necessary? I have found mixed opinions about this as well as whether to use a filter or not. Keep in mind I am a very dedicated owner and usually due PH and ammonia testing daily so I would not mind the continuous water changes. From what I have heard the filters stress the frogs out, even if it is a convenience for the owner.
And has anyone tried the reptomin sinking frog tablets? They were specifically formulated for aquatic frogs, so in theory they should be good, but after the bloodworms, I've become somewhat weary.
Also does anyone else use lace or bridal cloth as a "lid" for their tank? I have (so far) found it to be an inexpensive solution to a lid.
