Emg, I would not add a frog wherever there is fry. they will eat anything really.

about the Zen pose, this is a mystery. maybe he is hunting for insects, maybe he is doing yoga.

I'm going to try to catch a photo of Zen in his ballet pose -- one foot down, the rest floating in the water stretched out as far as he can be. So cute!!! After seeing the info on the site about ADFs, I think Zen may be a she. :kiss: That would explain Tao's mounting Zen while they were still in the store bag.

Share that photo with us Nann, when you get it!

Gee, I have been so caught up in these fish, never even thought of posting a frog pic....do they qualify as fish?...since they are in with the fish I would think so!

I changed the water in both tanks yesterday. I decided to start out with warm water for Pinky's crew. Zen scared me -- just lay there in the vase as if she/he was dead. I tapped the vase, and then saw that Pinky was looking stunned too.

I had put water that was too hot in the vase! :rolleyes: I quickly put cold water in and swirled the vase, Pinky seemed to shake himself off and swam again. Zen kept playing dead. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I did a race cleaning of Pinky's tank, refilled it, and put them back into it. Surprise -- Zen's back to normal. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> And this morning I caught Tao and Zen eating. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

good, then! I would hate to hear you'd boiled your babies, but it sounds like they told you the signs and you paid attention...good on ya.

Emg, post froggies on rate a fish - why not? Anything in your tank is game <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm hoping my photos will show up on Rate a Fish pretty soon. I've got a couple of good ones of the ADF's in their tanks. :rolling:

Tao is hanging out on the top of the tank now. He's sitting on a spinach leaf as if it were a lily pad. I'm hoping he's not sick or anything. I worry about them especially if I don't see them right away.

Well, I put my F'lar in the aquascene that "Jax" was in..(he's in the new breeder tank) F'lar has been somewhat depressed ever since I took him away from his babies, can't say I blame him.
He was in the "bettahex" I have...room temp water...I think the warmer water in the aquascene will perk him up a bit. He actually looks a bit better already.

Sooo...why did I post this on the 'frog' thread? Well, I took the frogs out of the tanks they were in and put them in the bettahex that F'lar was in. I was wondering if one of them has been expressing a desire to ..spawn? breed? pair up? (don't know what you call it when frogs "do it" <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ) anyway...was wondering if perhaps I might have a male and a female frog, so thought I would put them together to find out.
This may sound cruel...but...I was considering the possibility of ...(whisper)oO((tadpole treats for my fry))
Is that out of line?? I mean...what do ya think?

Emg :rolling:

sounds fine to me. I feed my big cichlids anything dead I can find - bugs, other dead fish....blech, but they love it.

About frog spawing: Can't advise you here, haven't done it. If they mate, let us know how it goes. And I don't know what frog sex is called either LOL <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Speedy is doing well -- I found out the reason he was pale. He shed his skin the night after I got him. He's just as dark as the others now. He and Grapel are happily ignoring each other. But the water in the vase is getting cloudy quickly, I may move Speedy in with Sweetie. :beamedup:
