Breeding begins.... (pic heavy)

@sflyingcow- I am trying to get them to breed w/o hormones. Yes, there does seem to be some relationship to having multiple males competing for the female.

@Kevin- Only one day of rain so far. And one very cold night. I was freaking out. It dropped down to 54 degrees. I used the rain system to keep the warmer water running thru the main tank. They are really soaking up the sun today.

Kinda sad that I have nothing to report. I have been running varying rain periods, have had some very cold evenings, no natural rain, and now all the bullfrogs seem to be just cohabitatiing just fine. No mating or calling at all!!

Eleven bullfrogs all living in harmony.

Pic one - butch of females hangin' out.
two - mixed group by over flow.
three - group of males.
four - fancy colored female.
five - group of males.
six - Sumo posing.
seven - Sumo insisting on a photo!

How old are the males and females?

[onedge30]

I would have to guess, but say that most of them are around 2-4 years old. Sumo may be the oldest around 4. So, they are all still youngsters.

Mine is almost 6 months old, and seems to be going through a growth spurt again. Your females look wonderful. I hope mine will look like that someday soon
