African clawed frog tank size.

I am gonna have to be careful with my water changes then. I normally use water that is either to hot or to cold or I do both to balance it out. My 29 gallon with a heater starts out at 678 degrees when I am done with taking the water out it is about 72 when I am done putting the water back in it is about 78 or 82 degrees.. I am gonna have to use my dads thermometer gun to make sure the water is not to cold or to how for the lil' guy. I am going to ask my Local fish store about special ordering one.

Don't really need to special order a thermometer. Just use your hand to keep feeling the temp and make adjustments as needed. You will get used to the feelings. I will say a few degrees cooler is generally better than a sudden swing hotter

Doing more frequent and smaller changes can help also as there will be less new water with a different temperature added in.

Like 5 gallons for water changes?

[Jenste]

for a filtered 10 gallon tank with one african clawed frog, do a 20-30% every other day (just my opinion). Minimal water swings and not as daunting as the larger changes.

Ugh that's gonna be hard to do with a 5 gallon bucket.....

[Jenste]

You siphon the water out, correct? Then only fill the bucket half way and that will be a 25% water change for you

[brian c]

Yes, I do. I never thought about it that way.
