How Do I Prepare Coconuts For Adfs

[squiremaster]

I heard that ADFs need hiding spots from the light, so I thought by myself to use a couple Coconuts. so I just need to know how to prepare them to go in my Aquarium

 

[squiremaster]

Oh yeah and do they have to be in dechlorinated water cuz I think Bettas have to and I wanna put two ADFs and a Betta in my Aquarium

Hello?

Yes, they need declor.

As for coconuts, try to smash them into a kind of crescent shape and stick one end in the sand/gravel. Don't get one with a hole in it, the frog woun't find its way in/out.

If I've explained this badly I can get pics later

Yes ADF's definately need dechlor, they are very senstive to any chlorine present so I'd recommend using 1.5x the amount of water conditioner to be on the safe side

Hello?

please give people chance to reply, the post hadn't been up 1hr. People do work and socialise outside of TFF and there is different time zones.

there should be instructions in the bottle telling you how much to add.

make the hole big enough so they can easily fit throught, make sure it is big enough for the other fish too as they will probably use it aswell.
