    hi

    Do you leave the water to stand in the tank when a full water change has been done or do you put any chemical into the water before the frogs go bak into the tank? the reson why im asking because i was just wondering what the chlorine content of the water was like where you lived? I used to live in the mountains and my water came directly from that so I didnt have to worry about chlorine there, but now I live in Plymouth and I use this thing called 'Tapsafe' from interpet which neutralises the water of any chlorine etc and makes it safe for the frogs and they have responded really well to it. are your Xenopus Laevis? where did you get them from in the UK - what pet shop was it?
    I know these are stupid questions, but were all the ornaments and plants and sand rinsed well before they were placed in the tank?

    I always use water safe. I thought all tap water has chlorine so I wouldn't risk not using it.
    the sand was well washed. didn't bother with the ornaments tbh. didn't think they'd have anything lethal on them from sitting on a shelf in a shop.
    I got one frog from pets at home, the 2 others I have now from a local independent. and the 2 that died also come from an independent. both independent shops have a good rep for marine fish and reptiles. I thought they'd be good with amphibians too. and these are African dwarf frogs, not xenopus.
