It's red eye season!

[Tony]

Hey Tony would you give us a step by step progress on the egg clutches? Also some of the specifics, such as water temp, anything you put in the water, what you feed the tadpoles, etc, etc. Im going to try and breed my red eyes as soon as they all mature enough to do so. Could you show us a picture of your rain chamber set up? Do you heat the water in the rain chamber? How many frogs do you have in there, etc, etc.

My rain chamber is very simple, I just gutted the substrate out of my female tank, covered the top vent with glass, added a couple of potted plants (potted in charcoal with a top dressing of sphagnum), and sprayed them manually. I spray twice daily, in the afternoon and at night with a gallon of 80 degree water, then siphon out the excess so that about 2" of water remains in the bottom. I started with 12 frogs (7.5) and pull the spent females after they lay. I do not heat the water in the chamber, but I probably would if it was a recirculating system.

The tads have in 7-10 days and I keep them in dechlorinated tap water with a dose of blackwater extract. I feed them twice daily, rotating between a spirulina-based fish flake, marine fish pellets, tadpole bites, and a tadpole pellet from Mike Ready at Sandfire. The water is filtered by an air driven sponge filter and I do a 30-50% water change every week or two.
