This tank is basically a condensed version of our 55g paludarium. If you're looking for setup information, we've stuck that in the 55g paludarium page. No pictures of this tank yet. Expect some in a few weeks.
But in the good news department, last weekend while feeding the critters in the tank, a very small fat floating frog crawled out from between a pile of rocks and surprised the hell out of us. She's only a bit larger than a dime (we're assuming a she because of the markings) and is amazingly friendly. As soon as we found her we thawed out some bloodworms and placed them on a rock near her where the other critters wouldn't notice for a bit. She was kind of reluctant to eat them, so Amy took a few bloodworms and dangled them from her finger in front of the frog. Not only did the frog not run away but it took the worms right out of Amy's hand. Afterwards it actually followed her finger around, looking for lunch. Since then, we've convinced it that perhaps bloodworms are best served 'on the rocks' ...
Anyway, this is the first frog to actually make it this far. Our four adults have been trying for some time and we thought they had only accomplished to generate more food for the tank (I know, YUK, but it's honest). If anybody can recommend some literature on the breeding/raising of fat floaters, we'd appreciate it (just looking primarily for info if any that differs from the basic froggie guidelines).
And lastly, we're at a loss for a name - so to celebrate the moving of our web pages and the birth (or survival) of our new little friend, we're going to let you name her. Send in the suggestions and as soon as we get the next roll of film back from the lab, we'll post pics of our new friend and let you know what we named her.
