Fish Crazy
Hey guys,
As some of you may know one of my African Dwarf Frogs died a few weeks ago, he got kinda bloated looking one night and then the next day he was gone. I'm not sure why that happened as my other frog and my betta are both fine. (more info here http
/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/435706-one-of-my-african-dwarf-frogs-died/)
Anyways, I was wondering should I get another frog to go with Ginger (my female ADF, my male that died was named Ale)? She seems to be doing fine without the company of another frog, but I'm still worried about her getting stressed out or lonely without another of her own species.
My other question is in regards to her food. Currently her feeding schedule is every 2-3 days she gets 3 defrosted blood worms fed to her by hand with tweezers, and on days in between I put 5 or so Zoo Med Aquatic Frog and Tadpole micro pellets in the tank near her after soaking them in tank water for a few minutes. My problem with this is, my betta, Rainbow has learned that there is food on the bottom of the tank and spends some of her time looking for it, usually resulting with her finding some. So, should I continue to feed pellets in this way in the hopes that she gets some, or should I find another frozen food to feed to her instead? I want to make sure she has variety in her diet.
Ok, I lied I have one more question, haha. Sometimes, Ginger likes to munch on the plants in my tank (Java moss, Java Fern and Anubias), mainly on the random little bits of java moss that break off and float around. Usually she chews on it and spits it out but sometimes she swallows it, will this harm her in any way? I'm guessing no, as she's been doing it since I got her (mid August), but I just wanted to make sure.
Also I guess it's worth mentioning that the tank is 10 gallons, is cycled (fishless), is heated to 78-80F, is filtered, and has a .06 watt LED light.
THANKS!

And I'm not sure, but that would be pretty cool!
