Again, thanks for the info. A curiosity question for you though, how do you get your prepared water back into your big tanks? It makes sense the way you do it, but I can't carry more than a couple of gallons at a time. For my bigger tanks I have a hose I attach to the sink and refill it that way.

The lady I talked to today at the pet store said it seems to be hit or miss with these frogs, and I can see why. Maybe the best bet, if one were to purchase dwarf frogs at such places, is to get them when they first get in.

I lost both frogs mentioned above. In taking them back, it was discovered that the trio I thought I bought at the time the cashier only charged me for one. Did end up getting two more (lively for now) frogs, and they are in a 3-gallon tank right now. I think I'll just see what the bacteria culture I got today does for the ammonia/nitrite levels before setting up another tank I really don't have room for. I don't have much faith in the "bacteria in a bottle" with cycling an aquarium, though. But this store is a locally owned fish store and they know their stuff (NOT the same place I got the frogs).

I do plan on ordering the xenopus pellets, and if the clawed frogs do not make it, may buy from Xenopus Express, maybe X. tropicalis (sp?) ... as this may be the "middle ground" as far as frog size goes, although I love the looks of the wild type and the reticulated albino of X. laevis (sp). But that is possibly for the future. Right now I have enough to take care of.
