    The only fish food I would consider is New Life Spectrum. I have fed it exclusively in the past to ADF'S and newts. I would put up against any of those frog bites where nutrition or quality ingredients is concerned. Those big chains do not carry it though because it is high end. Well worth any effort to acquire though.

    PetCo carries NLS. That's where I got mine. But they don't have the amphibian diet. But Brian, fish expert in my eyes (briansaquariumcare.com), said that the nutritional value is so close that the fish pellets would be fine for the frogs. Only thing is they wouldn't eat the larger pellets. My fish were unable to eat the larger pellets and since the frogs don't eat the pellets at all I got the small fish pellet. Very high in protein!

    All of the formulas are pretty much the same. The 1 mm pellets are the way to go. I always liked the formula with the extra garlic, they all have it. Suppose to encourage them to eat and helps resist parasites etc.

    The Thera a +a or whatever I think is supposed to be the best. But yeah, the ingredients looked the same to me. I tried the 1 mm pellets but the fish couldn't eat it (Endler's) and the frogs didn't want to. I think I saw a male eat one though. I think once I get a feeding dish in the tank I'll soak some of these tiny .5mm (they're actually much small than that) pellets in with the blood worms first. Might give them more of a taste for them. They're super small but I think if I can get them into the dish (they sink!) with the worms they'll eat them. If they don't, someone else will!
