She is probably about 2 now, little more little less, I can't exactly remember when I got her. But I have had her since she was a froglet so I doubt she has any parasites, I have never fed her anything that could carry them. Her only other tank mate is that snail, and I have had it forever, and its not seeping parasites into the water resident evil style...or I hope its not. (I am currently mad at it cause I awoke to find it had eaten both of my sword plants, roots, shoots and all, in one night! It ate 6 pellets of reptomin just yesterday afternoon!)

I guess I should have rephrased Noseeum's weight gain issue. She will gladly stay fat and happy off of the poor diet of frozen bloodworms and sinking shrimp pellets, but when I try to give her reptomin or anything else nutritionally beneficial she will refuse to eat it and lose weight until I give her the frozen junkfood again. I am afraid she as gotten spoiled off of the frozen cubed food, she also won't eat anything that floats. (I can't find sinking reptomin) Shes not even fond of the pelleted food right now (but I think that is because she doesn't shovel it into her mouth as well with her hurt hand) So is there anything I can entice her with that will fill the gap in her diet right now? She loves frozen cubed food, it has to sink, she will eat live things, but I think it will be difficult for her to hunt right now.


One more very distant future kind of thing, has anybody tried keeping large bamboo shrimp with clawed frogs before? They are filter feeders that clean the water, and seem too large to be eaten (at least by juveniles) and they have no interest (nor capability) of harming the frogs. I am just curious if they can live with clawed frogs, or at least if anybody has tried.
