    My idea that providing the M. Betsileo with more cover would cause them to come out more often has proven false lol. This suckers hide and are only barely glimpsed through the moss and fern when flies are added. I was adding them to the front of the tank under the Hypos, thinking the cover would allow the frogs to feel safe while eating but they slowly moved further and further back into the tank and wait for the flies to come to them. So I now feed them back under the fern. I have yet to see all 5 of them since they were moved to the new tank. I have seen at most 4 at a time. My wife is concerned, but I told her we just have to assume they are all all right. The only other option would be to pull the tank apart to see and it just isn't worth it for a small concern.


    I did end up cutting and propagating the Hypos and they propagate super easy. I am going to carpet the tank in them! lol

    This is perfect for a nice 'proven pair' for O pumilio.
