They haven't moved in. They seem to see them as cool ornaments at the moment.

Hello- I have a betta in a tank with 3 ADF- They are Ed, Edd & Eddie. Ed & Edd look so much alike it is v.hard to tell them apart. Anyway Ed or Edd started to shed?? I hear that is normal, but he is now REALLY mean- he has attacked everyone who gets in his way. Poor Eddie had a nasty tangle, but I see no damage. Is it normal to be moody and shed??

I believe shedding is normal, but if he's being mean, maybe he needs to be in a cup by himself for a bit of time.

Yep, If he can't play nice he can play by himself. :beamedup:

Ed or Edd seems back to normal. Skin is shed and seemed to be v. nice to everyone else- except I did catch him looking at Sid Vicious (the betta) in an ugly way. Sid ignores the frogs if they ignore him.... None of the other frogs shed.

Also, Sid now turns up his nose at betta food, he waits and eats every other day when they (frogs & Betta) all get frozen bloodworms.

Does anyone else use the frozen bloodworm blocks- If so how much of one do you feed? I do not want to overfeed anyone, but they all seem to want more after they eat. Stacie

While at Walmart last night, the woman who sold me the otos was sympathetic about my froggies dying. She said she believes that keeping them alive is sheer luck. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> She said that they do best in heated tanks with live bloodworms for food, but still die in that environment. She also said that fish flakes are not enough for them to eat, and apparently the frog bites aren't either. They need insect larvae. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I think I'll wait on getting any more until I can get the temperature and food sorted out.

I know there are people who live for herpes (reptiles and amphibs)...those people reading this forum and not writing in, PLEASE let your voice be heard and share what you know. We all had to get over being shy and say hello sometime. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I've had 3 ADF's for a couple of months now. They seem to be doing ok. I feed them dried tubifex worms by hand....only way I can be sure they get something to eat...and even that way the betta usually gets few nibbles....they're such pigs! :rolleyes: I don't feed them every day though. About every other or so. They take such mouthfuls when they eat I figure it must last them at least that long!

Emg

I've has my adf's 3 weeks now. They are doing great I THINK....eat freeze dried bloodworms, and frozen brine shrimp...they eat very well and have had a 5 gal cycled and heated tank to themselves from the start. I watch them eat all the time...they are still a comedy routine. No betta in with them though...don't think they would get enough food at all if I did that. Added 3 neons today as had to move some angels around and neons and angels DO NOT mix.
