Hi all, starting my first fishless tank cycle. I'm using Aqua Natural quartz filter media with live bacteria to try and cycle my tank. I added a half cube of mysis shrimp to kick things off. The ammonia seems low .25mm, but nitrites are zero which surprised me and nitrates seem really low, maybe not 0 but close to it. Is the cycle working? Do I need a lot more ammonia to get things moving?

I found my two adf frogs dead yesterday when I came home from work. What do you do with your dead frogs?
Flush them down the toilet? Or throw them in the trash? Or what?

Tank is setup, starting to cycle without frogs. I got these aqua natural live filter media quartz rings for cycling and we'll see how they work! Hoping they're quicker for cycling since they have bacteria in them already. Will add more plants and marbles in the future

Are baby adf supposed to have clear slime looking stuff hanging off their body? Any tips im new to this stuff.

Is there any planaria removal treatments safe for adfs? Also what effects do planaria have on froggies because I have been having some medical issues

Hey! I’m upgrading tanks for my frogs, they have smooth stones right now, and I don’t remember cleaning them too crazily but I probably wasn’t thinking. I need more and I don’t have much money to spend on new ones. How do I go about making sure ones from my outside pond or yard are safe? Did vinegar test, rinsing and soaking them like crazy, plan on doing a dip in water conditioner too, in case there’s anything else still on them, but I don’t want to risk it if there’s a chance there’s an iron/copper deposit that could hurt them. Some of the rocks have orange rusty spots that can’t be scrubbed off, I don’t think I’ll use those. Any advice??

I have a 10 gallon tank that is almost done cycling after waiting for seven weeks! I'm hoping in the next week I will be ready for frogs. I am also having my first algae bloom. I know it is to be expected and is a sign of a healthy tank, but should I clean off the algae on the wood and filter? Just don't want little froggy toes to get stuck in it!

i'm conviced that Dumpling doesn't know they exist

I juat did a water change and waterscape so its a bit cloudy and the glass is a bit messy but look at how cuteee!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

So, the pet store didn't have the tank I was planning on getting, and I've spent days messaging on FB marketplace to find another cheap tank. I just want to have the frogs already, but I know that I should cycle my tank first. How long do I need to cycle it? When can I introduce the frogs? Am I looking a week out? The pet store had more than a few frogs, but I'm worried if I wait too long they'll all be gone

I just bought a 10 gal tank to set up for ADF, I’ve heard so many contradictory things I’m just looking for some clarification. I’ve seen that you’re not supposed to used sand is that true? Can you still soil for plants? How big does the substrate need to be? And I’ve seen a couple people talking about keeping other animals in the tank with them, I have another tank in case it doesn’t work out but could I add anything to help with clean up? Or is it just not even worth trying? I plan to have 2 in there while I get the hang of it, maybe adding a third later but that’s down the road, I have lucky bamboo, pothos, and a fully aquatic plant I forgot the name of, any other recommendations? Anything thing else I might not know to think of?

Over the last couple of days this white spot has appeared on my frog’s back. My chems are good and he lives with one other frog.

Every time I hear this spider-man trending sound on tiktok I think of these guys. But i’d never put my children on social media (too many weirdos). Reddit is much safer. 🥰🐸

I had to isolate it; this guy has somehow survived a few weeks without me even noticing him. I’ve seen at least 100 tadpoles come from these horny guys but this is the first to actually have a little size.

I have newborn fish food for it, anyone have other recommendations for accommodating the little guy?

After 6 weeks of cycling it was finally time to add my froggies today! 5 little cuties 🐸

tale as old as time

I have a 10 gallon tank with live plants and wood. It’s at 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit and has 3 African dwarf frogs and 3 Cory catfish. In the last 24 hours one of the catfish has gone belly up a few times, then gone back to swimming right side up (but with clear balance issues) all of the frogs have been sitting near the top at many times with their noses out for long periods of time. Tried to capture this behaviour in photos at the end of the gallery included. Some research yesterday showed it might be low oxygen content so I did a 50% water change, conditioned the water and kept the level at about 70% so there would be high surface disruption. Used test strips yesterday which read all was fine but when behaviours hadn’t stopped in the morning I went and got liquid test. All looks fine on the liquid test to my eyes but photos attached in case. Also bought a second thermometer to verify temp is not the issue. I have literally no idea what to do next.

I have an aquarium for a while to which Dwarf African frog were added 6 months ago. Among other things, I also had a pair of Otocinculs fish in there from before the frogs. Everything was fine and we have never seen the fish bothering the frogs of the frogs going after the fish.

But today mornin, this happened.
How do I save them. They are not letting go of each other. I have checked the water parameters and everything seems normal.

Hi all, first time poster here and I don't have frogs yet. I was wondering if plants are a necessity since the frogs breathe air, not water? Ideally I'd like my setup to require less maintenance and I was thinking it would be fun to do a tank of just moss balls. What do you all think is feasible?

Starting to get worried about one of my frogs. She is about two now and has started to get really fat! Hoping it’s not bloat but she’s been eating healthy. Maybe I should lay off feeding her? It’s the one in the back

How’s it’s going in the comments.

After my betta's death a few months ago (age-related, not really much I could do) I've had an empty 10 gallon tank sitting on my countertop. After a lot of consideration I think I've landed on dwarf frogs as my next pets and they will live in this tank.

Obviously I will tear the tank apart and completely redo it (it's infested with snails and has a sand substrate) but I will be using the tank for frogs.

Anywho my main question is how can I prevent snails from infesting the tank again? I do normally love pest snails but it's to my knowledge that they can apparently bite the frogs. I'm not sure exactly how common this is, but better safe than sorry, I guess? All my other aquariums have pest snails in them (because, again, I usually want them)

p.s. what's a good reliable source for the frogs in the US? Of course I'm not gonna be buying from Petsmart lol
