    "Now he has figured a way to just keep backing up to get the soil over his head but its not that much and I've had a stern talking to him about it and he's promised not to do it again. "

    I thought I was the only one who lectured my frogs when they needed it. >_> Lol. I also lecture my fish. I swear, my female firemouth is starting to understand what it means when I start shaking my finger at her for chasing the other fish.

    Yes! A fellow fishkeeper! I think I might add my fish tanks to my sig, but that would be a long sig. I LOVE firemouths, but I don't have enough room to keep any.

    Adding my fish tanks would make my sig ridiculous. I mostly keep CA/SA cichlids and bettas. I have three firemouths - one female and two men. The men are in a tank away from the female. I would list my other cichlids, but I don't want to hijack your own thread - let's just say I'm a pretty obsessive fish keeper, and I have some really awesome fish!

    Is there a fish sub-forum on Frog Forum? If there was, I could post pictures of fish from all my 6 of my freshwater tanks, and my saltwater tank (totalling 123 gallons of water). That would be neat.

    To be on topic (lol), my pacman burrowed a little bit today (after I dug it out for feeding time yesterday). I am about to dig it out again for another 15 minute feeding time. I am going to have to start a thread about this, but I think my pacman frog is starting to get abit fat. It appears to be huge for it's size, although, that might be because I had it since it was a baby.

    I'm not sure if there is. There is a pretty neat fish forum called Monster Fish Keepers that I frequent. I'll check in just a minute to make sure there's not a sub on here - if there is, I'll post my fishies too!

    If you're worried he's a little chubby, you could do what I do for mine - make him an exercise bin. I use a rubbermaid container, line it with wet paper towels, and stick on a latex glove. I then annoy him to make him run in circles around the bin. I actually only had to annoy him the first couple times, after that he took the hint and now hops around on his own.

    That is SO cute XD !! I have got to make me one of those. What size was your exercise container (approx.)? I need to get me one of those lol. Did you put any moister in there like mist or anything? That sounds neat! I can hardly imagine my pacman doing any exercise on it's own, but sounds possible.

    I am a member of Monster Fish Keepers, but my favorite fish forum is Tropical Fish Keeping. That is the cleanest, most informative fish forum I have ever found. There are many experts, and all of my questions have been answered quickly there. I also answer a ton of questions there, as I am a pretty knowledgeble fish keeper, if I do say so myself (lol).

    I think I am off to post a tank tour in the Other Pets sub-forum. It is time I get some fishkeeping fame around here lol.

    Er, I got one of the gray bins at Wal-Mart. I'm not sure what size it is - I think its the mediumish one? You could go smaller if you needed to, since he just hops in a circle anyway. I keep a spray bottle around if he looks dry, but otherwise I just stick with the wet papertowels. I usually only leave him in there for around 15 minutes anyway, so he doesn't really start to dry in that time period it seems.

    I've never heard of Tropical Fish Keeping, I'll have to check that out.

    There is my post! I tried not to do picture overload, so that's no where near all my fish.
