My frogs are clearly in the embrace and she's desposting her eggs. Pretty cool!
I though I had eggs last week and tried to remove them.
I need to go do some research.

No wonder why my tetras don't hold still for pics!

Thanks for the link. I think I have it on my favorites. I did a lot of reading on frogs before I got them. Now to sort through all the info!

Shawnie

says to move the parents its easier than moving sticky eggs LOL hmmmmm ...I wish you tons of luck...they are cute as buttons for sure

Lucy

Hmmmm.....about my husband's birthday gift.

They're very sticky, I ried to move the last ones. When I got to the new tank, I couldn't see them (I used a white cup)

Moving the parents would be a lot easier.

Shawnie

hahahahaaha @ hubbys bday present...oops maybe next year baby LOL

Lucy

Some of the eggs were in the food dish. I used a turkey baster and sucked some out of the gravel, put them in the food dish and just transferred that the to a 1.5g.
I left the ones hanging on plants in the frog tank and there's more in the gravel, we'll see what happens
It looks like they're fertilized.

Shawnie

whahooooooooo it says to keep good airation like bubble wand or something in with them...im so excited for you!!!! and I really do feel sorry for the hubby..(for a min anyhoo ) LOL

Alessa

Yay! baby froggies! ehem... tadpoles!

It would be awesome to have a log of the whole process! this is so exciting!

Lucy

I've been reading and researching......green water..shrimp hatcherys. Oy.

Alessa

green water as in.. the unwanted green water people usually hate?

Lucy

lol, Yes...apparently whatever grows in it is small enough for the newly hatched tadpoles to eat.

Alessa

The trick is to make the green water appear when one does want it!

Butterfly

Yep best tiny baby food mother nature ever made. But as everybody knows I tried to grow green water awhile back and had no luck LOL but if you don't want it....watch out

Lucy

More eggs tonight.

That sounds awesome. Though this is not for frogs, it's a great site and the care requirements are pretty similar, until metamorphosis, which I'm guessing might not be that different either :

There care is probably pretty similar to fish too.

Pamphilos

Awesome!

How do you plan to make the green water?

pinkfloydpuffer

Yay! Good luck this time! I wanna see some tadpoles! lol

Beeker

Congrats!
I look forward to seeing the progression of them hatching and morphing from tadpoles to frogs! This is so exciting!
I hope things go well with your green water. If I remember correctly you need plenty of sunlight and some phosphates? I am trying to do this backwards. I know when you are trying to get rid of it you have to make sure you don't have your tank in direct sunlight and you have to remove the phosphates in the water. And something about adding potassium to get rid of algae.
I guess it is like washing your car to make it rain, you just have to not want it to happen and it will!
Or we can try doing the green water dance!

Lucy

Thanks everyone.
Great links Will!

I'm in touch with someone who has sucessfully bred them, it looks like a lot of hard work.

We'll see what happens.

Lucy

Well, the first batch didn't hatch it looks like they went all fungusy (is that a word?)
They ate the ones I left in the tank. I kinda figured they would.

Looking at the tank now, I see more eggs, they weren't there earlier when I did their water change.....busy little frogs.

It's 2:45am, I haven't cleaned out the spare tank from the last batch and I don't plan on cleaning a tank now. lol
I'll have to fast them tomorrow, they'll be full.

It also looks like I'll get plenty of chances to try to get some tadpoles in the future.

I just love these little froggers they're so cute.
With so many being effected by the Chytrid Fungus I feel privledged to have 2 healthy ones.

Matt

This is soo exciting

Keep us posted and piczed

Lucy

Well, I got a big surprise. The eggs that I removed from the tank may not have survived but some in the tank must have.

I was watching my female floating at the top, when I went over she was actually stalking a tadpole.

I scooped out as many as I could get. There's still more in the tank, but the buggers are so tiny.

pinkfloydpuffer

Yay! Baby frogs!!!

Lucy

I tried to get some pics of them tonight but they're just too small.
Their bodys are about the size of the head of a pin with a little tail.

CHoffman

How fun Lucy..I love ADF..They are so cute. It will be interesting to see how your babies turn out. Good luck. It all sounds like LOTS of work.

Lucy

Thanks, I hope they survive.

It's funny how when I feed them, a blood worm can land right on their head and they don't know it.....but boy let a tadpole move in the water and they're right on it.

Alessa

YAY! baby froggy!

Lucy

A couple of pics.....not very good but you can get an idea of how small they are.
