Cool pix, jac!

What do you feed your floaters?
I've been feeding mine little crickets or live blackworms.

Jacblades your betta is simply beautiful . How does he like the frogs? Cute setup and good pictures.

Where did you get the floating frogs from? How big do they get? Never seen them around here...

thank you

the frogs are from petsmart where i work

i have never seen them either and apparently they arent very common. i could only find one good website about them but i did find a few pages in an amphibian book (some of the info seems to be wrong though)

i dont think they get much/any bigger then they are now. i think max 1.5 inches.

the betta took a few nips at the adfs when i first put him in but hasnt since. he has ignored the floating frogs, except when they bump into him...

i just noticed that one of my adfs just shed his skin...there is a little froggie body suit floating around...

I like the look your the black cobbles for the substrate, although that a small layer of sand to cover the glass up.

just a note you NEED some kind of wood for the clown plec, there not a very good algae eater but prefer a nice bit of wood to nor on.

Sorry, I don't have a digicam, but I will in 6 weeks.

I have 2 in a 2.5g with a betta. It's only filled 3/4th up. It has sand substrate and 2 pieces of bogwood lodged in the sand so they stick out of the water. It also has hornworth and a ton of duckweed floating in the tank. Mine were rather skittish every time I would lift the hood, but now they have calmed down, and expect food. Plus their tank is in the kitchen, so that helps.

The betta is my most peaceful betta I own. Most of my bettas would attack them I'm afraid. I have them in a 2.5g because it's the only small tank that is COMPLETELY sealed. It's a $9.99 Petsmart special. They are incredible jumpers. When I bought mine, one jumped out of the plastic fish-holder into the garbage (he's fine, we dug him out, and I kept him ).

When you say "2 week crickets", do you mean "a few crickets twice a week"?
I've been giving them a small one each, every other day. One will shovel Hikari bloodworm (freeze-dried) in his mouth, the other flees from it. They both will eat live blackworms, but the betta has figured that out, so I've been trying to feed them blackworms out of a medicine dropper.

Also, what site do you have?

This is all I've got:

i mean 2 week old crickets.
i throw 6 in there every other day for 4 frogs.

the site i found is
http/www.polliwog-design.com/ricepaddyfrogs.html

there is also a little bit of info here
http/allaboutfrogs.org/info/species/floating.html

my friend (who works with me) scooped them out of the tank (since we arent allowed to bag our own fish) and 1 got away and went hopping down the aisle as we were both runnign after him hes ok now though

they seem to chase each other sometimes too, they can scoot across the tank in half a second. i just have some cardboard over the top of the tank and i know that isnt strong enough so thats why the tank is half way full.
