African Clawed frog assistance

[mpmistr]

I still feed my frogs reptomin by hand.. I have pennywort as a floating plant and it just gets tangled up in there.. they will swim to the top for food but they don't really stick around long enough to find anything, lol

Some of the frogs I've had took to reptomin the first day I got them, others refused to eat it but now will beg for it.

One of my frog which would literally ignore reptomin even if i put it right on top of his mouth now will go into froggy crazy attack mode when reptomin is in the tank..

So basically let her go hungry and then offer the reptomin, and only that? Also I bought some marine carnivore diet cubes, the ingredients seem pretty healthy, mainly just brine and mysis shrimp, fish oil, various vitamins, some color enhancers, and spirulina, is this a good food item for the frog? And I might put a bamboo shrimp or 2 in there when the tank is more established and I have her on a better diet. I will add the ghost shrimp sooner.

P.S. what kind of shrimp do you have in your tank? And how do you keep from sucking up the isopods when cleaning/filtering the tank? I have always wanted some aquatic isopods and would be happy to exploit my new set up to benefit both Noseeum and myself.

I don't know what species my shrimps are. They were included when I bought aquatic plants. I am sure they are from Atyidae family though. Since they are translucent, they are inconspicuous in tanks. My filters suck up the isopods and I dump them when I clean the filters. (I rescue some, but it's impossible to save all of them cuz they are very tiny.) Nevertheless there are always thousands of isopods in the tank. For, lots of them dwell in the substrate that I rarely clean. Also, I do not clean all of my filters at the same time, and they survive in one of the filters. Even if they die out from my tanks, I can easily find another ones from my outdoor ponds. Thanks to my shrimps and isopods, I do not have to clean my filters so often. They are such debris eaters.

Where do you get your isopods?

From aquatic plants I bought!
