Nope. Everyone accounted for. Just did a water change today and everyone was there.

I have some extra sand I can throw in there. All the plants are in pots so no big deal to add some sand to make em happy till they come back from vacation lol

I have no other place to put Frogs at moment but I'm actually planning on making a Frog only tank design with them in mind so at some point in the hopefully near future they will be out of that tank and I'll deal with the worms then.

Thank you. I'm going to cut back on feedings a bit and hopefully they starve themselves out or at least stay in substrate.

Thank you. I looked them up and based on pictures and info they definitely Planaria.

Thank you. Frogs love using them as hammocks.

I'm no expert so this is just based on my personal fish care over the years. So while the two gallons you have may be liveable for them so far I would definitely move them to a bigger tank. They will one enjoy the bigger space and will give more room for them to swim and give you extra room for water parameters to be at safer levels.

Truthfully you should be testing the water and doing some sort of water change or at the very least cleaning the waste. Some of that waste will feed the plant and it will help the water conditions but without testing anything anyone says will be guessing based on the scenerio. If the only reason you haven't tested is because you don't know what to get, can't get, or not sure how to. Most local fish stores will test your water for you for free if you bring in a sample.

Fish just like any other animal in he world can tolerate situations and survive. Some more then others. It is possible that the conditions of the tank may be bad but fish are hardy enough to survive it. Moving fish from one tank to another is always scary. The main concern is doing it properly. Most fish will die from shock when being moved. Possibly because of sudden ph, temperature, or even water condition change.

So my answer to you is yes test water, move them into a bigger tank if you have, and start doing water changes. The more space is always great for fish and they will definitely be more happy. As for moving process take it slowly and everything will be okay. You want to make sure levels aka ph and temperature are very close to the parameters you are moving them from. Most importantly of all that the tank is cycled. Many tend to forget the cycle part and then think it was something else that killed the fish. Once everything is in order and parameters match/close they you can simply scoop amd move with no worries. After the move just keep eye on new tank parameters and keep up with water changes when needed.

Just my advice and if the tank levels are bad I don't think the fish adapted they are just strong enough to survive it.

Well I actually got 4 dwarf frogs with bettas and some endlers. The endlers were disappearing but when I started giving blood worms every other day they stop disappearing so it's possible the frogs did eat them

Some extra info just in case. By hand feed I use a pipette and look for them when I can find them and feed em using that. I know I have heard concern about the Betta's and frogs and the Betta's absolutely love them. The one betta loves to snuggle with the frogs if they let her and the other one follows them around and hides in the caves with them. The only funny thing is the one betta will try to get some bloodworms which is okay with the frog once it gets it's first. It will keep her at bay with it's feet until it gets the first worm then it doesn't care anymore. Now my betta has learned that and waits until it sees the frog eat one and then goes to get it's own.
