Starting a new adventure and getting back into frogs

[Jenste]

I had gotten rid of my other amphibians last year due to personal reasons.

As far as their stuff, they have their own nets and siphon. Thank you but I am well aware of potential contamination risks and have been taking steps accordingly. I have been stealing plant trimmings from established set ups but what is taken will not be put back. I would not be risking my discus or breeding angels for a few new ADF, no matter how cute they are! I had a couple pieces of driftwood standing by soaking so that it would be ready to go into the tank.

I actually bought them from the same private shop where I have purchased some of my discus from. The bridge is most likely going to be put to use with either my sparking gouramis or just to connect a few tanks holding juvenile angelfish to make the grow out tanks a little bit more fun.

As far as the ADF tank, I did not do as much of a rescape as I originally planned. I added more sand and sloped it to the right so that the right side is about 1.5 - 2" higher than the rest of the tank. I took out a piece of driftwood and moved around the other three. I regrouped a few plants and took some of the larger trimmings of extra water wisteria I had and rooted them into the sand. My hope is that the whole right side will become a denser bushy growth for the adf to hide in.

Pictures once they have settled.

It looks beautiful! I was patiently awaiting pics. So exciting. I am going to have to find someone to trade my 55 for a 20 long. I want one bad! I want more ADFs too! Keep us updated, it is looking great!

Jen they're so cute I think the tank looks nice as it is in the pictures. I prefer natural looking tanks like that.

You have one heck of a tank here, I love this design and how natural it looks, Great job!

[Jenste]

Thanks! I forgot to post the photos here after posting them on another thread. whoops!

Here are some of the updated photos, will look better once the wisteria on the right hand side grows in. They already love that area and spend most of their time over there.





You can't see me!





They also love their lilies. Most of the lilies are half under/half on the water surface, so they have a nice little shelf about 1/2-1/3" below the water surface to relax. (I had slowly moved the cover over to take a clear photo)

Damnit Jen, I caught myself eyeballing and missing adf's last night at the store. Now the wheels are turning and I am considering getting some again. One place here also have the blond variety in stock...

Tony you and I are of the same mind. I have my local store looking into ordering some for me also. They have been trying to track them down for the past couple days. I am hoping to get my hands on at least 5 depending on price.
