What about firebelly toads? I've never had them, so I'm no expert on their care, but I've admired them in pet stores. I had thought they lived on land, but one time I saw them in an aquarium that only had a turtle dock as "land," and they were much more active, swimming around in the water then...

I love your idea! Those example pictures are really inspiring. Please share what kind of frog you decide on and pictures of your setup when you do make it; I'd love to make one, too, sometime in the next few years. Also, for whatever it's worth, I have a thought for you on plants. I have a few...

RABENA, what does "SHE" mean? This is about African Dwarf Frog feeding and constipation. Is that what you're having trouble with? Anyway, thanks to the people who gave me those helpful suggestions; with more coaxing, my ADFs are eating the pellets. If anyone knows the difference between...

I'm dying to get one of those. I just don't know how I'd keep the water cool enough in the summer. I don't always turn on the air conditioning. How do people keep the water cool?

That's so cute! My betta and one of my ADFs float on a leaf together at night. I thought it must be a coincidence at first, buts it's happened a dozen times! Don't believe the people who say ADFs can't live with fish.

Hi there, I just realized something. Those of you who told me that bloodworms cause constipation in ADFs: what about black worms? I don't have bloodworms, I feed them black worms. I was stressed about my floating frog and confused myself. Do black worms also cause constipation?

Peas! Thanks.

Well, I'll get the pellets today and use my baster to put them in front of their noses. Any thoughts on how to cure constipation, if that's the issue? Thanks so much for responding, by the way.

I tried to feed those pellets to my frogs once, and they totally didn't get it! The pellets just sat on the bottom of the tank. Is there a trick to it, or do you think I just have to give them time to get the idea?

Wow I just saw that on another thread, too. I was told live foods were best, but if bloodworms are the culprit, I'll get something different right away. What do you feed yours?

If there are any ADF experts out there, I'd really appreciate some advice. I've had my frogs for a few years and they've been really healthy, but suddenly, one of my females is floating and can't get to the bottom. When she's under the light, I can see some air making her side bulge. Her skin is...

I have ADFs in a 20 long that is 12 inches deep with a male betta and a few rasboras. There's never been a problem with fish getting eaten, or even nipped. There haven't been any problems at all, in fact, so if you already know how to care for the frog you have, I'd say go for it! ADFs love...

I'll look into those groups, thanks!

What differences in water parameters are you talking about? I'm interested to hear more about that. I don't have any feeding problems with my frogs and betta because I feed each frog live worms with a dropper, or I feed them all together after putting my betta in a floating baby tank.

Well thanks. The person who suggested it said totally different stuff, but it seemed to me like they're way too big. They sound like great fish, though, so I'll keep them in mind if I get a bigger tank in the future. My frogs aren't great swimmers, so I wouldn't want a community tank bigger...
