Having another go at breeding my ADF.

[Shadow]

Well it's time I start trying to breed them again. I have currently set up this 1.4 gallon tank for them.

No filter means I will be cleaning the water every two days. If they succesfully breed in here the I will move them back into the bigger tank so they wont eat the young.

I will post pics of how it goes.

Enjoy!

Looking forward to it good luck with them.

Thank you very much. I just hope it goes well.

Best of luck with these.
You'll want to keep infosuria levels up and parhaps add daphnia to the water to establish. Have you tried an undergravel filter? That way you shouldnt need as many changes and you keep the daphnia levels up too

Mine always used to spawn when I dropped the pH (gradually!) - you might want to try a big waterchange with rainwater or RO water.

Stupid question - whats an ADF??
i feel really dumb

 

[newtamander]

ADF means African Dwarf Frog dont try to feel dumb at all because part of being an amphibian keeper is always learning :frog:.

The only problem? at the moment is that I havn't heard my male sing in a while.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried cold water?

 

[Shadow]

The water there are in now is a bit colder than their main tank.

 

[newtamander]

That should do it.

Haha I might finally be in business here!

So since a while before I stated this thread, I hadn't heard my male call to female. Yesterday I fed them blood-worms which they're not used too and about 20 mins ago I heard only one call too my female. CHecked 5 mins ago and found them in amplexus.

Sad news I don't think I can try and rasie the tads up, no room or right equipment, shame
