Welcome Shadow. I'd say if Hoppy is happy, and singing away, then things are good. I'd leave him alone to let him continue his chorus. How neat. Mine never sing! But they are also not alone in their tanks. maybe that is the secret.

Scarlet, I like your icon too!

I took a nice picture of one of my ADFs...it's posted on the rate a fish page. I linked to it here because I thought a thread about ADFs should have a picture of an ADF on it somewhere... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

What a cutie! <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

oh yours is so cute EMG. that looks like an adult huh?

did anyone get ADFs when they were tiny and be able to keep them 'til fully grown? just wondering.

Well, I'm guessing it's an adult. I have had these two for about 2 months now..they seem to be doing very well. I have them in a 10 gallon with some live plants, a drift log and two male betta, one in a hurricane lamp and one swimming around wherever he wants...lucky fella... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I bought a little ADF today and when I got to work (about 15 min from the LPS) he had expired. I tried to make the ride as jiggle free for my passanger as possible but I guess it wasn't enough. I don't know about getting another one...are they really that delicate?

Sorry to hear about your froggie. I think you just ended up with one that was ill. Bring him back to the store and they should get you a new one.

Here's some more frog talk, from another thread in this forum, that I locked:

Good idea Jilly !

Well I went to a different pet store and payed a little more but at least I got a living frog. He's been doing good the past few days and he seems to enjoy wiggling into the java moss and water sprite and sticking in there all day. I guess he's practicing being a christmas ordament!

I can't tell if he eats or not. I put some food in the 5 gallon tank that he is in and had to leave it. There are no other fish to take care of uneaten food and it doesn't look like he smells the blood worms when I drop them in to the tank. So how many would you gals put in the tank and how often while it is just him?

you gotta watch for wormy things. it is best to give frogs live wormies but, they wiggle into the gravel n stuff when frog doesn't catch them right away. it's a tried and true method around here to use a straw or turkey baster or something similar to get the worms directly to frogs. try different things and see what works best for you. and welcome!!
