The sinking pellets could be shrimp ones or something like that as an occasional treat but they are not super nutritious. Also be careful of the bloodworms. I had a froglet pass from bloat doing exactly what you were, and thought it was the best solution. My advice is to get reptomin ASAP. They aren't very expensive :P

And I think what Jamie was saying was to disassemble your tank and get one of the frog storage units. That would be fine in a car/train, but I don't know so much about an airplane. But if your mom is willing to take care of him and understands aquariums/ACFs pretty well then you probably shouldn't worry.

For it's size, you'll want to try to feed him every day, but don't be too freaked out if he doesn't eat much more than a stick, but it could be a total pig! Just suck up the waste, do a weekly water change, and you're good.

You'll want to kind of have a quarantine tank for the guppies/ghost shrimp and keep them for about a month to make sure there is no disease. They can be feed these, but it's not too natural for them. I was informed that in nature if there are small fish, big fish are present and big fish are their predators. However, the ghost shrimp may be more natural. They do eat small crustaceans. If you're using the worms can be pulled into smaller parts if you're not too squeamish, but maybe wait until it's a little bigger. For now reptomin may be the way to go
I'll look into the Xenopus express thing ASAP. That could solve my entire problem. This school is in the middle of nowhere so unfortunately there's no apartments or anything. I am not sure what I am doing yet, but overall, I am sure my parents especially my Dad will take care of him. My mom denies it but she sort of likes him I think. I will go out an get the Reptomin Sticks tomorrow, thank you for the advice and the name. He actually has been quite the pig, but some days he won't eat. I suppose thats normal. He's a tiny little guy with a teeny stomach. I would probably wait on the live food for now. He actually CAME with one feeder guppy. I didn't notice it in the bag till I got home and neither did the girl who got him out for me. They were already in the same tank, so I just keep them together. He has shown SOME interest in eating it but I can't be sure if he ever will. For now I am treating the Guppy as a pet

This forum has definitely been more helpful to me than any other source! Thank you guys so much, you have no clue how much you've helped me out!
