I have a great little ecosystem going on in my ACF tank! I have some detritus worms and my guy isn’t eating them very much. He is small (about 2.5” body), is there any other critter I can put in my tank to eat them? *I know it’s not typically recommended to put other things with ACFs but has anyone had any luck with it?
He passed away last November, he had bloat for about four years and I was able to manage it with salt baths. He lived all over the country with me, definitely had a great life! Haven’t been able to bring myself to get another, but maybe someday. I had no idea this group existed until today!
Hi!
So, in January a got a white african clawed frog for my mom, who loves frogs.
We named it Micaela (tho I suspect it's a male, but right now we have no way of knowing), and I finally convinced my (minimalistic) mom that having things on her aquarium is not a bad thing: She may not have so much space to swim on a straight line, but she has places to hide, and when we give her brine shrimp they have places to hide too so she has to search.
And I was curious...Is there something more I could do for her to make her happy? Further enrichment, basically.
Lately, she started to croak, and we took it as a sign that she's happy, healthy and considers her surroundings safe and fit to reproduce, and while we don't want to breed frogs, we very much want to make her happy.
(She's on a 15 liters/3.9 gallons tank, that she shares with an apple snail, Plutarco. We feed her turtle food pellets, mealworms and once every two weeks or so a whole bag of brine shrimp for her to hunt and feast)
