hi just wondering what you all feed your African dwarf clawed frogs please?

I read they go nuts about bloodworm, but that if stuffed with them they will float. do they suffer the same floating problem if fed blackworms? are blackworms healthier?

I am going to start culturing daphnia for them as I saw some adcf eating them on youtube. are daphnia a good food for them? I will be culturing using spirulina powder, mixed with a little yeast and soya flour with gentle aeration as on the caudata page on daphnia. I am thinking I could use the daphnia as a main food supplemented with either the bloodworm, blackworm, or frog/shrimp pellets

if the blackworm is better for them than the bloodworm, I will try culturing them because they cost about £4 for 15 worms.

did anyone make a poll on what the majority of owners feed their acdf?

thanks

I have now got my frogs and they are eating live daphnia and freshwater copepods, they like them a lot.

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
