Hi
This may be a silly question, but it's on my mind all the same.
i will very soon have 4 ADFs, amano shrimp and eventually also a betta. Firstly, i'm wondering how i'm going to be able to introduce the 4 frogs one by one without the others jumping out of their respective containers.
My other worry is water changes. From what i've read, a 10-15% water change once a week should do the trick. (i have a 10 gallon with a trickle filter) The thing is, it seems it would be best to use the gravel hoover to clean the gravel while taking the water out. However, i cannot use it without the hood completely off and surely it will be stressful for both fish and frogs. What if they jump? Or should i remove them during the water change? i'm reluctant to do that as surely that is even more stressful.
Or do i leave the gravel and just remove the water using a jug of some kind?
What do you do and what are your thoughts on this?
