9 month update on Rumper

[daltar08]

I got rumper 9 months ago and he was a teeny tiny thing, this first picture shows him on day 1



After that he continued to grow, a scary time in which he refused to eat for 2 months came and went and he started eating again several months ago, now he looks like this



and a few more pictures



and his current setup

Are you sure? every other night or so once rumper leaves the water i hear rumper calling 4-5 times. to answer your question, A Fluval 106 and 50% weekly water changes.

Lol....stranger things have happened, but just going off looks, that is 100% female. If its calling its a male. No other explanation. Don't want to nay say, but I'll bet 20 bucks that's a female and you are hearing something else. Get video with sound of course.

That's the thing though, it looks like a female, but it calls every few nights does 3-4 croaks and then before i can get the camera it stops, i am 100 percent sure its the frog making the noise. i know females make noise but this is the frogs own doing and not some fear reaction. does anyone have a sample of the female sound i keep hearing about.

Looks like a girl to me or the strangest obease male with the smallest head to body ratio I've ever seen lol, looks like the forarms are a little slim two. Here is my boy

What do the croaks sound like?

[daltar08]

What do the croaks sound like?

sounds like the frog in this video, does it 3-5 times 4 seconds apart or so, do females make a noise like this on there own and unprovoked? i dont care if its a male or a female i just wanna know for sure so i can figure out what to call him/her. also more likely to do it when the fogger is on.

Looks like a boy to me, just puffed up in response to being disturbed.

Alright cool, now there is the issue of the noises, should i be concerned? its a croaking noise. Also i need a new name for her lol.

[Lija]

is there any way for you to record those noises? because females don't call

[daltar08]

I have set up a recorder that last 2 nights and ran it for several hours, last night i turned it off around 2 am to conserve memory on my smartphone, but at 430 i was awoken by my frog. guess i should have left it on, i will keep recording each night til i get it. it sounds IDENTICAL to this frog in this video around the 10 second mark. he/she does it 3 to 4 times, with 4-5 second gaps inbetween.

Nice job man. Its about time someone proved this. My first pyxie was a big fat female and I heard this exact sound several times as well. I was told everything from squeaking on the glass etc. Def. A female and you PROVED they call. Awesome man!
