I just took a look of you 55 G !!!
That one looks a lot of fun..... give me the inspiration of going to the beach.... Nice tank also!!
lol
Apparently, my gravel level wasn't deep enough to cover a small slit at the base of the faux wood decor piece and he somehow managed to wiggle in there and couldn't get out.
RIP Froggy
Awww...poor froggy! I hope your Betta and other froggy aren't to depressed...sorry for your loss
I'm sorry about the frog.
Accidents happened sometimes, also this incidents teach us how the animals never stop to explore every niche of the tank!
Wish you the best, you are not a frog killer but an animal lover! Lol
I told my boss about my froggy and he seems to think that the other froggy pushed him in there to make it look like an accident. I couldn't help but at his 'theory'. Nice, I recently went out and got a 15 gallon starter so here eventually im gonna have to move up to a 29 gallon
I started out 16 years ago w/ a 20 gallon, took 16 years off from fish-keeping, and jumped right into the 55 gallon. Now I'm wanting to buy an even larger tank for our basement... but that won't happen. I'm driving my husband 
with the tanks that I have as it is. lol
Now for some bad news... I got home today and was looking frantically for one of my ADF's. The other one, (the active one), was ok, but my 'lazy' one went MIA. After looking through the plants and skimming the gravel base, I decided to start carefully lifting the decor.
Low and behold, I found him... deceased.
I was so upset, I pulled that piece out, and replaced it w/ the "stump" decor out of my 55g. I then put the, (what I now refer to it as), the "deadly decor" in my 55g. I'm not worried about my fish in that tank getting trapped because I have a deep gravel base. Plus I made sure it was pushed down as far as it could go, so all of the slits were covered. I made absolutely certain of that!!
This just annoys me! The main reason why I bought that piece was so that the frogs could lounge on the "branches". However, they designed that decor where the base was jagged which created little slits. Why don't they just use a mold that makes a level base? You don't see it under the gravel anyway! GAH!!!
Ok, sorry, I had to vent. I already miss seeing the little guy in the tank, (even though he didn't move around that much). Oh and to make me feel 'even better' my husband was teasing me and calling me a frog killer.
. I just vacuumed one of my cory cats while doing my weekly pwc. I frantically tried to get him out of the vac and disassembled the vac with pressure still in the hose. The cory was shot out of the end and I haven't found him yet. I thought he might have made it into the tank but I can't find him. My wife is no help. She just keeps saying "Oh yeah, he's dead".
Don't feel too bad
That is so sad. I'm sure that was a pretty scary ordeal for him. If you're positive that he shot back into the tank... he must still be in there! I certainly hope your wife is wrong and you find him, alive and well!
McLumpy said:Here are some pics of my 10 gallon after I revised the decor layout. I also came up w/ a way to illuminate the background after 'lights-out'. It not only gives the Betta and ADF enough light to get around the tank, but it also looks incredible! The pic isn't the best, but you can see how the background "glows".
Believe it or not, it's a light that came out of my Christmas Village house. lol All I did was place the clip that surrounds the bulb in between the stand and the wall so it would be stationary. Now if I can do the same thing to my 55 gal. I'm thinking that a can light may be needed for that one though.
He is such a mack daddy! lol After seeing the little baby bumps the other day, I set-up a safe haven area for the fry on the right side of the tank near the heater. They have many hiding places which should help save a few of them if I'm not there to net them and place them in my breeder tank. I also purchased a tank divider to use once I start seeing a lot of fry, (afterall, my breeder tank can only hold so many). So, yes, it looks like I will be updating this thread quite a bit over the course of the next month. lol
I hope I can also help others w/ n00b mistakes. For instance, buying plants before researching them... only to find out that they're NOT fully aquatic. Eh, yep, I did a boo-boo! lol
. Well I bought it anyway. Originally, I wasn't too interested on keeping them. I had bought them with the intention of them being a food source for my snails. Ironically though it's still here and that's been about 3 or 4 months. I still keep my eye on it to make sure it just doesn't die off and pollute my water.
