    Default hides?

    I am having trouble finding good hides for my ACF, he is clearly uncomfortable in his tank and hides under the filter, I need to get something immediately and was wondering what you may recommend.

    I bought a 10 dollar ceramic log the ACF I'm currently keeping in a 10 gallon until he's large enough to not get eaten by the large ACF I keep.

    He prefers to hide behind the Whisper 10i filter I keep in the tank and never uses the log. I think when they're young frogs they just like to jam themselves behind objects to feel secure.

    I wouldn't worry about it, he'll get too large to fit behind the filter eventually. All my frogs did this when they were small.

    Thats good to know, I do have another hide and he never uses it. I will probably buy a log eventually and he will get upgraded when I have room for another 20 long.

    He will come around though right? He won't always be terrified of everything that moves.

    They are less so as they get older, but sudden changes in light, noise, or movement can and will startle them.

    They are rather skittish animals overall, however.

    I hope he does come around ... This is pretty ridiculous ... All the videos I watched before I got him ( I did lots of other research too ) were these ACF just happy in their tanks and eating.

    Most videos are ACF during feeding times when they perk up and swim around looking for food.

    While they are fairly active for amphibians but they still do a great deal of hiding and sitting in one spot, as most frogs do.

    The activity does not bother me ... I have an axie as well and man she is lazy but I love her , She even swims up and greets me

    I have not even seen Ninja since I put him in the tank really, I am hoping that it will be a case like natsu where he will grow out of it but even feeding time doesnt perk up my little one.
