Another question about them even though i haven't got any yet


would they eat small fish that are alive like tetras? hope they don't and what is the best kind of food to feed them since there are a few selections whats their favourite?

Thanks in advance

i just need to know im not sure but i don't think they do but its better to be safe than sorry, im talking about neon tetras

They shouldn't bother a healthy neon tetra. When I had some they loved blood worms. I fed them with a pipet, since food has to move for them to eat it. After awhile they will learn the pipet means food.

how much are bloodworms? and they common in stores? thanks for answering

Most petstores will carry them. Get the frozen ones, not the dried ones. Don't be surprised if the frogs don't eat for a couple days as they settle in. These are just like any other frog/toad in the way they won't eat things that don't move, so pellets don't work. They will also ignore bloodworms lying on the bottom of the tank. Which is why you need the pipets, which should cost about a $1 a bag at your local walmart, perferabley clear ones. Dethaw the bloodworms in a cup and suck some up with a pipet, put the tip infront of the frogs and slowly move it around. You can let some of the bloodworms hang out the end and they should target those and eat them.
