    Default R. imitator feeding question.

    I am planing on keeping a pair of Chazuta frogs and still learning about care and feeding, beside fruit flies, springtail and other insects, let say that my FF culture crashed, can the frog eat guppy fish fry if introduced in shallow container? the reason I am asking is I also keep freshwater aquariums and wondering if I can use fish as food during lack of other insects.

    If they are the right size and your frogs are fast enough to catch them, fish would make an excellent meal for your frogs. although i know very little about the type of frogs you have so i don't know how interested they would be in them. Always worth a try and they are very nutritional.

    Hi Toda,
    I am going to throw a guess out; that they will not eat from the water?
    My guess is based on my observation of my imitators near water that has had FFs in it.
    I have never witnessed the imitators going after them........ maybe if they are hungry enough, they might ?

    You could be right Lynn, maybe only aquatic frogs eat fish.
