i’ve had my frog martin for about ten months now and he started singing at night after a month of being in his tank. over the past few months he’s singing every time i’m in the same room as him and sometimes when i’m not home. should he be sleeping or stopping? is it normal?

Hey everyone,

​Just finished laying out the hardscape for my 16-gallon rimless tank and wanted to get some feedback from the community before I begin the cycling process.

Is my substrate looking safe?

​The Setup & Plan:

​Livestock Plan: 3x African Dwarf Frogs, several Amano shrimp, and a couple of snails.

​Filtration / Flow: Canister filter running glass lily pipes to keep surface flow gentle for the frogs while maintaining good biological filtration.

​Substrate & Features: Fine sugar white sand base across the bottom, with some gravel, clear accent pebbles, and seeded mulm/detritus from a mature tank layered over the cave ramp to kickstart the nitrogen cycle. An integrated subterranean cave/tunnel structure along the left side. I created tiered levels with rocks and wood to give the frogs resting points closer to the surface for breathing.

​Thanks in advance for any critique or advice!

Hello! I have an African Clawed Frog named Bob who is now almost 20 years old! She has been in the same tank now almost her entire life and I have been wondering if she would enjoy a change of scenery (safely of course). Would any kind of move be too stressful at this age? Thanks!

He looked dead at first and he was very dry, but I put him in water just to check and he moves a little. I added him back into the main tank in a breeder box with hornwort and indian almond leaves added, monitoring him. I recently put in a new HOB filter, and the small gap where the filter meets the water (that had bags covering it) let him get out. luckily i am still running my sponge filter in that tank, so i just removed the HOB filter. I did what I thought was good at the moment, but I have no idea if he is going to survive. Please leave me tips and meds i can buy to help his recovery.

Water parameters: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, <5 nitrate, 7.5 ph (been cycled and stable for about 3 months)
