So I think this might work out and my worrying/subsequent bad and desperate idea was all for nothing haha. Mine are still both very small juvenile frogs right now, so I look forward to watching them grow up!! ps I ordered special pellets for them online that are better than the ones I had been feeding them (: and no more krill! Thanks again to both of you for all of you help, advice, and support, and I promise you they are in capable hands..although it might not have looked that way from the question I asked haha! (have cared for a few frog species in my day (
    they prefer sinking ones they'e having hard time to get pellets on top of aquarium.

    They "prefer" whatever they can shove into their mouths. Floating is better because they will not accidently eat the substrate.

    Not really. Like Tony said they just like to eat, period. Feeding them sinking pellets just increases the chance to ingest substrate and creates more of a mess if uneaten. I actually have my frogs "trained" to take food from my hands if I hover it above the water. Its actually pretty amazing how far they can jump out of the water and snatch food, they're quite accurate too!

    ive trained my frogs to eat out of my fingers too, it makes it easier to monitor food intake and that all of them are eating well too. :-)
