Experience with different frozen foods for ADFs?

[rodsboys]

I've found the best frozen food to be mysis shrimp, glass worms, spirlina enriched brine, and daphnia. NLS is also a superb choice as far as pellets are concerned. Bloodworms can lead to bloat in my experience and research.

Ahh, all that's so messy. I'm thinking of moving over to sand though. Then the food wont fall into the gravel.

The only thing I've read about bloat and blood worms are with dried worms. Crazy!

One way to keep the mess down is to have a designated feeding area, like a saucer or clay pot bottom. Frogs will eventually learn to go there. I treid the plankton and krill by the way, way back when. They never seemed too into the plankton, which was just some kind of shrimp. Krill is too big for them and is better reserved for full sized clawed frogs.

Mine LOVE tilapia. I slice it off in very small pieces and hold it in the water and they take it right out of my hand. I also feed frog/newt bites and bloodworms. I freeze the tilapia after I slice it on a little tray in a single layer so they don't stick together and then put it in a ziplock bag, thaw it in tank water and hand feed them. It is used as a treat and I mostly feed the frog/newt bites. They have never refused food yet. I was feeding tuna until I was advised against it...so if anyone knows bad stuff about tilapia please let me know!

I just saw the post about sand....Jenste suggested I move over to sand (THANK YOU! JEN) and feeding/cleaning became MUCH easier!

Any sand brand recommendations? It's going to be awhile though.

I hope it's okay if i post this link, briansaqauriumcare.com. Well, Brian, the author of this website, has suggested feeding them New Life Spectrum Thera A pellets. I think I may try this and just feed them the other foods as a treat. I have to go PetCo to get them though. Not sure they'll even go for it. But it does have garlic in it and aquatic frogs and fish alike are supposed to be attracted to garlic.

Play sand $7 for 55 pounds.

They love cherry shrimp! They ate all of mine!
