    Default New rescues

    150 Gallon Oceanic Tank - Edmonton Pet Classifieds - Kijiji Edmonton Canada.
    Rescuing these frogs this weekend. Quite the odd stock list in this setup.

    That stocking list is awful! I hate seeing singular specimens of a schooling species.

    Can't wait to see photos of your new frogs

    How exactly is this a "rescue"? Is the frog sick or in danger?

    Yes really! I'm not familiar with this species and they're care.

    I thought you were being a smartass. Just the fact that the puffer is in the tank is giveaway that the frogs need a new home. Never mind the filth, gravel, the inability to call them what they actually are or sex them. I ca assume they have been eating junk as well. Only thing good I see is the nice big tank.

    I would consider this under the category of rescue in the view that the frogs are currently not being housed or cared for properly. The current owner seems to know little about their care which means who ever he pawned them off on was likely going to be told inaccurate care information.

    By taking the frogs and seeing that they receive proper care, Tony is definitely improving their lives.

    I would consider it a rescue both for the frogs and the fish ... I really only know about angels and cories out of the fish list ... but this guy is an idiot. The ONLY bright side is its a decently sized tank.

    Agree, with that Figure 8 Puffer in there, those frogs where in danger (the other fish too). Puffers are notorious fin nippers if small and will eat or take chunks out of pretty much anything in their tanks when grown. Other fish are mislabeled too . What he calls a Discus appears a Severum and there is a medium TinFoil Barb in tank too. I do like the Blue cichlid, too bad is too far from me to rescue it . To OP; good job helping out those frogs !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
