Disgusting

[mpmistr]

What is the point of tattooing animals exactly?

[Ted]

Why is that? They were identification numbers put on valuable animals to protect against theft. I provided a valuable service to these people...so think twice before you comment..

Does not explain why you would tattoo and release frogs.

[Ted]

I did that when i was a kid,,and what things are you quilty of when you where young?

[Sueshee]

Yes it is my opinion.

This thread is about Sueshee's frogs, not a flame war about tattooing animals. There will be no further posts unrelated to OPs subject in here.

In regards to OPs last question, yes, if you keep pets in a system; all the pets need to share same environmental needs and be able to live together. Plecos are not good companions to any animal that can try an eat them due to their spines. They also grow very large and produce huge amounts of biomass waste. A glass cleaner is far more effective in a small tank.

AFC's are not good companions to fish, specially to warmer water tropicals. IRT your non-eating/floating on top frog, that is not normal. Please answer the below questions to try and figure out what is wrong; thank you .

“Trouble in the Frog Enclosure”

The following information will be very helpful if provided when requesting assistance with either your frog or enclosure. To help with your questions, please utilize the below list and post the information in the proper forum area to get advice from FF members that keep the same frog. This will allow for little confusion and a faster more informed response.

5. Water chemistry levels: pH; Ammonia (NH3); Nitrites (NO2); Nitrates (NO3)? Note that if you do not have test kits, most aquariums/pet shops will do complimentary tests if you take a clean water sample.

6. Describe any filter system including model and media?[/COLOR]

7. Substrate type?

8. Tank set-up (plants (live or artificial), driftwood, hide outs and other decor? - How were things prepared prior to being put into the tank?
