Calling all Fish People! *Updated! 4 Pics*

[Kalei]

Thanks so much everyone for the help! I got my two frogs last night even though Wal-Mart Royally peeved me off. For the first part, the pet store person wasn't even there so I had to have a regular person try and get my frogs.

This person when she put the net in to get me two frogs, she was literally jamming the net on the ground and into the rocks, killing frogs and catfish. She had to at least kill a half a dozen of them. I had my hands up to my mouth I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then she put the second frog into my bag and the frog was upside down and not moving much. She says "oh I think they play dead sometimes." and put it in the bag thinking the frog was okay and playing dead.

Anyways needless to say I got the two home and the one that was floating upside down was dying, I picked it up and I found that it looks like the net had cut open the poor frogs neck. I was soooo angry. I went back the same night and got a second one because the poor frog died. The second time I was up there I thankfully got the pet store person, although he didn't seem to bright either, he at least was very gentle with the net and got me a healthy one.

Now they are both in my tank and very happy. I haven't seen them eat yet, but hopefully they are. They are so skinny. I don't know if they are naturally that way or if wal-mart hasn't been feeding them properly. I am at work right now, but I will try and get some pictures tonight after work for ya! Thanks for listening to my little rant. Oh and they also never had them labled properly, it didn't say Clawed Frog or Dwarf frog, it just said African Frog, thankfully because of you guys helping me and sites on the internet, I knew they were dwarf frogs.

Hey Kalei,

My brother use to have 3 of those kinds and they only lived a few weeks. They were really hard for him to keep alive. I've never had any in my tank, but he just didn't have any luck with them.

I did have an albino frog in my tank. (they're the kind of frog that HAS to be kept in water) and they can get very large.) I had mine for about 4 yrs. He was pretty awesome and lots of fun to watch him grow up!


Go to this web~site and look at the first pic. of the frog on the right. http://allaboutfrogs.org/weird/strange/albino.html
That's like my frog I use to have) If you don't have really small fish I would get one of them! They're really awesome and cute too!

oh you already got them! that's great please send pics of them! We'd love to see them

Awww I just can't wait for photos.

Yes Wal-mart is not a very bright store when it comes to fish, last time I had to wait half an hour just for person to take a simple goldfish out of the tank, you won't belive it (Actualy you will lol) they stuck my goldfish in a ziplock bag with barly any air in it so I had to get home as fast as possible.

I wish Wal-mart would stop selling fish, or at least get better people to take care of them and up-grade the tanks, there where 7 silver shraks in a 10 gallon tank and they need a 30 to 50 because they swim so fast.

My wal-mart has some frogs too, there so cute & they even have hermit crabs .. in tiny, tiny cups --_--'' but when I go up the the cups those little crabs open there eye's and when I tap the cup they hide again lol.

Wow, yeah I can definately believe that. With my frogs, the girl had no air in the bag at all. When I got out it my car I had to undo the elastic and I blew lots of air in it myself for the drive home.

I can't wait to see them when I get home, I hope they are doing good

Well...this is a bummer, I am home and have tried to take pictures, but the frogs won't move around much and just want to be under the rocks. They won't come out. I did get some pics of one of my frogs though, he actually came out of the rocks

So do dwarf frogs always like staying in the rocks? Are they messy? And how many bloodworms should I feed them? Do they mind really clean water?

Anyways here are the few pictures I got

hehe, I know I have very very colorful rocks.

I think the frogs really like the color rocks though because they are very easy to get under, no digging involved

Anyways there are the few pics I got, I'm sorry if they are kind of boring. Maybe once they get more used to the tank, they will move around more.

Awww.. they're so cute! Don't worry, mine were little like that too when i first got them, but i think i overfeed mine since they've got little pot bellies

Mine usually hide under things a lot, so if you have a piece of aquarium wood, or something for them to hide in they might like that as well
