First time with ACF froglets

[Mentat]

Hello Sabre and welcome to FF ! Have not kept ACFs but here is something to read that will help: http://www.frogforum.net/care-sheet-...are-sheet.html.

Seachem Prime is fine. Do keep the water changes small or can also use a gravity trickle system to slowly replace water (airline with valve to set flow around a drop per second).

As long as they are feeding variety is the key. Make sure you have veggie matter in the mix. Not sure if OK with babies, but accidental grabs of legs can result in injuries when grown.

Think the ten of them will be fine in a 90G. The FX5 with standard sponges and Matrix should be OK for filtering, would arrange return so it does not disturb frogs. To clear the tannin from water, get a large bag of Bio Chem Zorb and rinse extreemly well. Then place in FX5 near outlet. You can discard bag when water is cristal clear again. Not sure if FX5 will work on a lower water level; maybe consulting filter manual or experimenting will answer that. Main thing is that the filter does restart by itself after a power loss.

Sorry did not answer all your questions but hopefully the more experienced keepers will get those. Good luck !

Thanks for the welcome and the advice, Carlos~

I'd been looking for that caresheet, I don't know how I missed it!

I think maybe I've gotten some of my questions figured out myself--and come up with some new ones.

1 & 2) No one's eaten anyone yet. Everyone still has all their limbs and the frogpoles are already nearly fully morphed into froglets. I also haven't seen any grabs the last couple feedings. I've got the 20 gallon high ready to go (which I've read in several posts that at least one user used with no problems). I'm planning on moving all but the smallest froglets and the tadpole over to the 20 as soon as my sponge filter comes in (which should be Friday at the latest). I'm hoping they won't be shocked by the larger volume of cleaner water.

3) Still not sure.

4) Still not sure. I rechecked the grain size for the pool filter sand and it is .45-.55mm. I also have a PetCo mix of 1-2mm.

5) I hadn't even thought about using chemicals to take the tannins out. I figure I'll go ahead and drain the tank like I'd planned since it's already more than half empty but at least now I've got another option in case the mopani does it again the next time I try to stick it in there.

New Questions!

6) I read an interesting article about diet for these guys: Feeding African Clawed Frogs - the Two Best Diets and it got me thinking about African Clawed Frog Themed Art for Sale Has anyone ever tried that diet for their frogs? Or putting other foods in their frogs' diet like NLS Amphibian pellets or Repashy foods? I want to get as much variety as I can but I don't want to feed them the wrong sorts of things either.

7) Is there a list of things (foods, additives, plant ferts, plants, etc) which are toxic to frogs that is available somewhere?
