How big is your tank, its a 20g isnt it? Frogs are gregarious by nature, I would say add 3-4, they dont get very big at all, bout 1.5 inches.

Cute little buggers ADFs are...in the past I've had trouble getting mine to eat though. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I suggest feeding them live goodies for best results.-Formerly known as the Ferretfish ![]() |

I forget the brand but that is exactly the name. It is the same stuff as Frog food, but larger pellets. I feed all my fish first, which brings the frogs out, and then after the fish are sated, I drop a heart dose of Newt food in the tank. Always in the same spot so the frogs learn where food is. I have had no problem. Frozen bloodworms are also sought out very well, and so are tubifex worms. The trick is to overfeed to a certain point so there is "leftovers" for the frogs.

They are much too small. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |
