The Rescues

[Rat The Unloved]

Here are the kids - well and truly frogs, in their new "teenager pad". It's a 10gl standard with a 1gl-ish pond. Once this starts to look crowded, I'll begin work on their 29gl "forever home".

Has it been seven months since this all began? WOW! Well, the enclosure has had numerous improvements, and I thought I'd post one more time before work begins on the 29gl, permanent, home.



Here is the tank as of today. Last night I moved it onto the larger, longer "Stand" that the 29gl will eventually go on. The pothos on the left came from an potted Home Depot plant that was barely more than a cutting. I now have what you see, plus two other cuttings. The fern on the right has done better than I expected, probably because it's a house plant. Inbetween this mire of plantlife is a small "shoe box" tub that's been cut down to create a small pond. The pond houses Endler-Guppy hybrids that - somehow- aren't eaten.



I started having some "trouble" a few months ago with Mushrooms. They spring up overnight, reach a height of about seven inches, spore-print all over the place, and wither. I hear-tell that this is a sign of a stable vivarium.

In any case, I hope to start on a 29gl soon - It's become very clear from the ringing "BUMP!" sounds of frog hitting glass that they've outgrown this temporary enclosure.

This is a great thread. I love how you have taken the time to show each stage of their metamorphosis. They appear to be in great health. Very nice rescue.
