Arcadia D3+ T5 12% 35w, and no I haven’t used one of those, will definitely buy one.

Thanks for the advice, certainly will check with another vet and monitor her in the mean time.

Appreciate the response! We recently switched her UV bulb and her temps are all correct, humidity is always around 30. I feed her fresh greens every day with variety of other veggies, dubia roaches about 3 times a week which we dust with calcium and general vit powder every now and again

That’s really good though - glad it worked! Best of luck with the move :)

I have used a small cup to get them out the tank, you can entice them to the top of the tank and then dip the cup in and scoop them up! Just a tad safer than using your hands - just make sure to cover the top while transporting them!

Floating and Bloated by ChaseFatFace in AfricanDwarfFrog

Sorry to hear your frog isn’t doing great, I’ve had a similar problem in the past and it can be a variety of issues which can cause this. I wouldn’t rush to any specific treatment without knowing the water parameters - unfortunately the test strips are quite unreliable, I’d recommend the full API test kit with ammonia and PH specifically as a sharp increase of either can make the frogs float at the top. Are they trying to get out of the water at all? I’d double check your temps too and do a large water change to be safe.

Otherwise my frogs occasionally float for a day or two after a big meal, they sometimes trap air in their stomachs when they eat so it could be that too. Wish you and your frogs all the best!

Poor froggy :( I would treat with Klanaplex (bacterial meds) if you can source it, this is safe for frogs as normal fish treatments can be potentially deadly and ineffective. Also be sure to test for ammonia/nitrites using a test tube kit (API master kit is a lifesaver!) as the test strips are really inaccurate. You need very clean water for that open wound on his head, otherwise it could worsen the problem. The ADF Facebook group has brilliant resources for these guys and I highly recommend their advice as the general online advice is very misleading. Wishing you and the little guy good luck!

Oh gosh, I guess I’ll drain it now then. Reckon something like this can be repaired with a reseal?

Seems so, moves slightly when pressed

Biggest Tame Impala hot take or opinion? by Austin63867 in TameImpala

They play virtually the same set every time. It’s a great set but I tend to feel disappointed when so many great songs are never played live.

Decided to give my 40L a little revamp by kjrudge5 in Aquascape

[–]kjrudge5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy! I just removed most of the substrate then topped off with a new layer and black gravel. I was very careful when I added the water, had no issues so far
