African dwarf frog question....

[crazylady6900]

Can you add a bit of aquarium salt in a tank with ADF's? Will it affect them in a bad way at all? I usually put some in, just a small amount b/c I have mollies in my tank and they do so much better with it.
I just want to make sure my frogs I am gonna move in there will be ok.

yes, they do fine with some aquarium salt. www.pipidae.net is an excellent resource for adfs as well.

I don't know if you've gotten the answer you need. It might help if you post to the 'General forum', frogs aren't invertebrates, since they have a backbone.

I swore off keeping frogs, since the first time I got some they ended up as raisins on my living room carpet.

Good luck crazylady.

Mmmm, raisins.

once my ADF went for my LDA08 plecos which cost me 130 for three), while they were still in the bag, I took him out quick.

My frog was in a tank that I added a teaspoon or so to (2.5g) and he did fine. In fact, he has gone through three complete new tank cycles (rinsed gravel, filter, tank, everything with tap water) before I knew what I was doing wrong... all in the course of 4 weeks! 2 months later he is still kicking in my 10g, though he does not seem to be real friendly with the ghost shrimp.

That's what I was wondering - will frogs get along with ghost shrimp? I have ghost shrimp, and I wanna get some frogs.

 

[msjinkzd]

if they will fit in their mouth and they can catch them, they will eat them. However adf's don't see well and are pretty slow. I would imagine if you have ample cover for the shrimp they would probably survive.

LOL. I have 2 ADFs and was wanting some ghost shrimp as well. You're right about them not seeing too well. When I feed frozen bloodworms they just kind of smell them, then snap at anything that gets close.
