    Default HELP! Bullfrog gone completely brown, no green!

    Guppies are fine if you know the source is clean, or do like I do and breed them yourself. Goldfish are not recommended as they tend to have parasites more often than other fish. I can't do nice either...just can't bring myself to do it, even frozen. I do, however, feed mine freshly molted dubia roaches and he loves them. I'm not sure if breeding and housing roaches is legal in Canada though. You'd have to check that out first.

    Sadly, we're not allowed to keep roaches in Canada outside of licensed zoos or exhibits. I believe the only exception is the German cockroach, Blatella germanica, which no one in their right mind would knowingly bring into their home.

    Great news! Last night, Gnag was up and swimming about like normal, alongside Bumpy ! And this morning, I saw her eat three crickets, not even mentioning the ones I didn't see her eat. The only thing peculiar about her other than her coloring was that she was a bit more shy than usual. But she was eating viciously [As is normal]! I think you are right, and that she is just adapting to her new home. At around 3-7 PM I'll go get the water plants, UV light, thermometer, more wallpaper, and possibly the water heater.


    As for the nightcrawlers and guppies, I know where to get guppies, and the ones there usually seem healthy. I'll examine them either way, if they look bad, I can put them in my spare 20G, or get a 10G for 'em to breed in, along with a filter, gravel, plants, etc. I searched up Lumbricus terrestris and I see those everywhere! Whenever it rains, those come up, and they're bountiful! I always assumed they were regular earthworms. That's useful, next time it rains, I'll see if I can find any, though I'll probably stick to store-bought nightcrawlers.


    I don't think Roaches are legal here, I've never seen one as a pet or otherwise except in an aquarium. I was planning on getting some kind of invertebrate to put in a 10G or smaller and Roaches were an interest, but I couldn't find any. I know this is off-topic, but any suggestions? I want something that's entertaining, or interesting, and I'll tell you why: my parents often bring guests over, and those guests bring little kids, and I'm always defending my frogs, trying to stop the little kids from poking the glass, turning on the main light in my room, handling the crickets, and worst of all, attempting to reach in and pick up a frog though that only occurred once, when I wasn't supervising for a few seconds. Luckily, those frogs [Especially Bumpy] are fast, I even have difficulty getting them when doing physical examinations [Bumpy is an amazing hider, and she's very fast too. I once spent 30 minutes searching for her in the 20G.] so, any low-maintenance but interesting pet suggestions would be nice. Just something to keep any guests entertained and off my frogs. I was thinking about a crayfish [AKA Crawfish] as a nice little pet [maybe not little, but even so]. I know where I can catch a few, and they're relatively easy to catch from my experience.
