I am trying to figure out where introducing frogs is going to fit into my day.
I can't remeber and didn't see in Leo's article if they should be acclimated the same way fish would be (I know this process no need to go into it) or if they are loss sensitive to moving between water.

Don't have time to delve into reasearch on my own so I am "cheating" posting here;)

Other wise I will put them in a holding tank until later, but I wanted to get started on things before then.

Thanks much!
 
They ought to be acclimated as well. Frogs are quite sensitive to water in the way our fish are (I think one of the articles I listed mentioned this). Since there is no risk of the frog not being able to breathe by depleting the oxygen (assuming there's enough air in the bag and/or you open it a bit), you're not in a real hurry to get them out. I prefer the drip method with airline tubing.
 
awsome! thanks:)

ps, I visited fla for the first time since I was 2 and got to see a lot of really cool aquaria. Thought of you on your honeymoon. I am a bit more into tortoises and turtles than marine fish, but any wildlife is great to see IMO.
