In need of some ACF advice!

Yeah it seemed pretty lose lose to me as well, which is why I came on here to see what some other people thought. Deep down I knew the answer, I just would like to keep them as I have grown really attatched to them, and they get all excited when I walk up to the tank and nip my fingers..kind of makes me happy to feel like I have something in my life that really loves me back (Even though I know they are frogs and don't really haha). I will have to have a talk with my family, as they knew what maintenance had to be done the first time I left and couldn't do it because of stressful times for all of us, and I do not fault them for it. If this is not the place for them in the end then I will have to let them go );
thanks.

Yes my family never had to help me with them before I moved away for school, so I think I might not have explained how their care routine well enough, which landed them in a less than ideal situation. I know it must seem like I take bad care of them but I really had been doing my best to give them everything they could need, and did research before I got them.. and now my family seems to have started to take more of an interest in them now that they saw how fun it is to hand feed them and that the cleaning really isn't that hard. So I think this might work out and my worrying/subsequent bad and desperate idea was all for nothing haha. Mine are still both very small juvenile frogs right now, so I look forward to watching them grow up!! ps I ordered special pellets for them online that are better than the ones I had been feeding them (: and no more krill! Thanks again to both of you for all of you help, advice, and support, and I promise you they are in capable hands..although it might not have looked that way from the question I asked haha! (have cared for a few frog species in my day (

they prefer sinking ones they'e having hard time to get pellets on top of aquarium.

They "prefer" whatever they can shove into their mouths. Floating is better because they will not accidently eat the substrate.

Not really. Like Tony said they just like to eat, period. Feeding them sinking pellets just increases the chance to ingest substrate and creates more of a mess if uneaten. I actually have my frogs "trained" to take food from my hands if I hover it above the water. Its actually pretty amazing how far they can jump out of the water and snatch food, they're quite accurate too!

That is so cool!

ive trained my frogs to eat out of my fingers too, it makes it easier to monitor food intake and that all of them are eating well too. :-)
