Ahh I think I've got it I am unsure as to when I should order the culture though. When I get them they are still tadpoles. Should I order a culture when I see back feet? Or front and back feet? Thanks, Chris.

Yeh I have read it all. I can't figure out though, once it goes all smelly I set up a new jar. But what do I put in the new culture, just the flies or do I put the larvae etc in it as well or will they be alright in there and once they become flies do I put them in the tank with the frogs? If I wanted like 5 cultures, how do you do so because you can't surely have enough adults for that once the first culture goes all smelly? Are they fast reproducing lol? Thanks Ira, Chris

Gets lots of live rock and find anemones (sp) in rockpools. I don't recommend crayfish as I think it's illegal. You could put shrimps, hermit crabs etc in it. Hope you enjoy the project - I wish I could do the same!

ok - how long did u leave them in the original container for? how do you start new cultures?

ok last questions - what do you put em in and when they arrive, are they adults or just eggs? thanks

Cheers !

Thanks Ira. I will order a large culture from there. When they arrive, what do I do (lol?)?. Thanks :>

ahh ok .. could you point me to a source which sells cultures? do the frogs love em? cheers :>

mm .. sounds very easy lol .. they come from a pond so I think I will use the water in the barrels outside to do waterchanges (though it's been there for a little while?? is it still good to use?). I will get some weed from the pond as well so it sorta feels like home. I will be using a glass tank with rocks for them to eventually climb on. I will post some pics of the tadpoles and frogs to see if anyone can identify them. Ira - do you have any 'spare' cultures that you could part with? I will need some for the frogs when they come out ._< Chris-

Yip! My auntie just got a new farm, and the pond has THOUSANDS of tadpoles!! I don't know what species they are, but I sure am gonna find out. What I want to know is, what do you guys feed your tadpoles? I heard boiled lettuce (10-15mins) and then chop it up is good. Do you put filters in the water to keep it clean or just do waterchanges? How many waterchanges a week? Another questions ( ), how do you get air in the tank? Oxygen shell, air pump, oxygen weed, etc?? Depending on how many I can catch, I will probably get a big tank for them to enjoy. I am also going to culture flies / anything that they eat so I don't have to try or buy flies in the winter. So if anyone has any cultures they could part with, I'd gladly buy 'em off you! Chris-

Do you feed them over winter?

Put the frog in a box with nothing? in the fridge for the winter .. mmm sounds good

I meant for feeding to the frogs ;P I can catch flies now, but when it comes to winter there is nothing. Do they not go after worms? I have seen baby crickets etc in the petshop, how hard are these to culture? Cheers.

Very interesting read. Is anything else frogs like as easy as that but not as annoying to feed them? What about cockroaches?

What do you have to have to culture flies? If I could 'make my own' then I could probably keep them, as when I used to have frogs, $5 a week was getting pretty expensive for flies..

Damn, your setup almost makes me want to set a frog tank up .. or a pond ..

When mine had egg's, all I did was leave them to it and 5 survived (I didn't have any special foods) and I think the rest of the eggs got eaten by the neons. It is really interesting to watch her lay, and him coming up behind her spraying the eggs.

as far as i know, discus don't mind salt water.

Wow, LOVELY!! I saw whiptails at Jansens, but they were the fawn colour. This one is so pretty.

I thought it was way bigger than a guppy LOL! Nice looking fish though.

cheers rob, might try that next time they lay: )

Only if they don't have sharp corners, but I would never use them.

Welcome ! Breeding is very exciting ! Wish you the best of luck

Welcome Mouse ! Discus are very nice fish, eh ?

maybe nothing. They might be young and inexperienced. Leave the eggs with them. They will eventually get what to do
