frogs

here is some not so good quality video of my frog tank. There are also some goldfish and loach in there too.

The tank is a Trigon 190l with a tetratec 1200 external and the internal jewel filter. The frogs are zenopus Laevis african clawed frogs. I have 3 types in the tank. I have the brown clawed frogs and then I have the albinos which are most commonly sold in the lfs and also the reticulated albinos. The males are the smaller frogs and the inside of their hands is black. The larger ones are the ladies (typical)

One of them is a rescue who was going to be flushed down the toilet. She had broken legs and a hole in her hip. I treated her with antibiotics (thanks Fr Jack) and tlc and she is grand. She looks a bit rough though where the bones have healed. The other big lady is called Rana (Spanish for frog) she has a fluid retention problem. This was a major concern but it doesnt seem to bother her a bit. There is a blockage in her lymph system and when it gets really bad I treat the tank with nacl commmon table salt and this reduces the fluid a bit. I was afraid that it would kill her but not a bother on her at all.

The croaking is funny when someone new comes into the house as they are too polite to ask what the noise is but they are looking around the room wondering where it is coming from. The kids get great fun out of watching them play twister.....

The goldfish are really lively too. Cosmo, Wanda and Little Yellow. Wanda, the white one has a broken jaw from fighting with the orange goldfish over food when they were much smaller. This healed and causes no problems at all. There is a dennison barb in there becuase I couldnt catch him to take him out and a weather loach who loves to bury himself in the sand. There is also a large bristlenose in the log in the middle who doesnt do a very good job on the plants.

Hi Nessa,

Thank you for sharing this video with us! It's interesting to see them going down/up, in movement all the time.

As for me having frogs in my tank, I couldn't possibly !...
I'd be constantly thinking about which sauce to prepare to accompany their... Mmmm.... lovely legs !!!

Link dosent seem to be working.

Not working for me either, must be a photobucket issue as it worked for Valerie earlier it seems.

Or maybe they heard what Valerie said and what I think

Indeed Daragh ...

The link doesn't work for me any more either !

Valerie

sorry guys dont know why. it is a photobucket link. any suggestions to get it up on the site would be welcome.

Hi Goldy,

Are you sure this video is still on your photobucket account. Did you move it to a different album or something like that.
When clicking on the link, all I get is a photobucket blank screen. Maybe the url is different that what is stored in your 1st post.

(The video would be too large to be stored on the website!)

Hope this helps.
Valerie

I have edited the post and it seems to work for me now so maybe have another go and see how you get on.
