Hello! A woman I know bought a little tiny tank with an ADF, bamboo, and rock for her daughter. The frog wouldn't stop it's mating call and so the girl didn't want the frog anymore. I gladly adopted it. Poor little guy looked miserable, so I did a little research on getting him some friends. Long story short, last weekend we purchased two more ADFs, a 5.5 gallon tank kit, and some frozen blood worms. They all seem to be getting along swimmingly. The original male and one of the new frogs wont stop mating. My kids think its hilarious. There is a filter off the back, no heater but it is 75 degrees - will probably get one as the weather gets colder. We treated the water for chlorine when we set up the tank. Here are my questions: FOOD: I cannot find a definitive answer on the feeding question. One place says feed them bloodworms daily, another says give them two pellets each twice a week. So how much for 3 frogs? If frozen bloodworms, is 1/2 a cube a few times a week enough or two much? Is there something a little less messy I can and should give them on other days? We are leaving town for 12 days and will have someone helping us feed the frogs in a few weeks and I want to be sure I have clear instructions for them. Also, Petco sold me shrimp pellets, but sounds like this is not good? They said tadpole bites were not good? I am so confused! Second question: WATER: one thing I read was that the water will cloud and clear a couple times as the bacteria sets up and not to mess with the water in the mean time. Something else I read said to change the water frequently. Which is best for a little tank with a new set up? The water is relatively clear and a bit hazy from time to time. My main concern is that there is a bit of a clear film on top of the water. Also, they dechlorinator I bought has measurements for 5 gallon and 10 gallon usage. If I am replacing 1-2 gallons, do I need to be really careful with the measurement of that stuff? I assume I need to treat all water going in? Thank you for any advice! I'm getting really attached to these little guys already and don't want them to get sick!!
