Beautiful tank, fish, and frogs! I love ADFs. Do your gouramis ever nip at each other?

 

[IcebergSlim]

Yeah, the red one chases the blue one around quite alot. I was concerned, but hey've been in there together for over a month now and there both fish appear to be healthy.(no fin damage or anything)

What do 'ADF's eat? I've been considering them myself, but haven't really researched 'em yet. . .

I feed them sinking brine shrimp pellets daily and blood worms a couple times a week.(this is the only time I actually see them eat - they love the bloodworms) I would get a couple of frogs. At first I only had one but it hid all the time and I hardly ever saw it. Soon as I got a second one, they're out and about alot more.

Here's a couple of links about African Dwarf Frogs:

The pellets can make the water dirty quickly if they aren't eating them. If they are eating only bloodworms that isn't really good for them. Bloodworms eaten too often cause bloat, especially if it's freeze-dried. Frozen brine shrimp would be better to give them, I think. Shrimp pellets would be good if yours eat them, bloodworms once in awhile is fine. Live worms would also be good, I now feed mine live blackworms.
