What do I feed my African Dwarf Frogs *Please help!!*?

Posted on September 27, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have had several african dwarf frogs i have ahd them for about 10 months. I’m not exactly sure what to feed them. Recently two of them have sadly past away. They were alittle bloated looking and were both having a hard time moving they kept flipping onto there backs. I felt horrible I kept flipping them gently over or bringing them up for air not knowing what to do. I have been to several pet stores that sell them and i have asked them what to fed them. Some said just fish flakes but they kept dying so i went back and asked someone else they said no no feed them betta food so i bought that and no luck went to a different store and was told to feed them blood worm so i did that but then i heard that you shouldnt feed them that and they will get bloated and die if you do. So i went online and someone said brine shrimp but they wont eat it. I am desperate I really do love my frogs but my frog pack is getting smaller> I’m not getting more untill i actually know what they eat. :(

Can I add another filter to my 10 gallon?

Posted on April 20, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I already have a power filter that filters up to 20 gallons on it, but I’ve noticed that even when I do water changes with gravel vacuums, there’s still a lot of stuff floating around. Sure I’ll try to net it out, but it still floats around in there. Whenever I put a new cartridge in my filter, a week later, its clogged with dead food and fish waste and my filter does filter properly because of it. I guess its because I recently switched from feeding my fish flakes and bloodworms to flakes, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and tubifex, but not in one feeding. I just feed them twice a day without feeding them the same foods consecutively. Plus at night I drop a tropical tablet and an algae wafer for my cory cats and oto cats.

Do you think that adding another power filter like the one I have will reduce the clogging of my cartridges with better filtration? If so, will it have any big affects? For instance will I have to recycle my tank because of the new filter? I’ll give someone a best answer
Well I have been kind of slacking on remove excess food, but I have 3 cory cats, 3 oto cats, 4 neon tetras, and 1 dwarf gourami.

What foods besides tropical fish flakes are healthy for guppies to have in their diets?

Posted on March 21, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I know dried blood worms and baby brine shrimp are good, but if you are unable to get your hands on that at the moment, what are some other foods that guppies enjoy and are healthy, particulary foods that have greater amounts of vitamin D? Are their any households foods or vegetables that go good with a tropical fish flake diet when cut into very small peices? I just want my guppies to have a more nutritious, healthy, and exciting diet.

Thanks for all input, advice, etc.
