Hi,
a friend of mine who has kept fish for years has branched out into keeping frogs.
She has and I quote "2 little greenish ones and a bigger white one", both species appear to be aquatic, she bought them from an aquarium shop and was told they were aquatic and could live happily with each other and with fish.
She originally kept her frogs in with her fish, she is now short a few fish and realised that the frogs were viewing her tank as a buffet. She has moved the frogs into a separate tank and plans on keeping them all together.
I know less than diddly squat about frogs but I do keep axolotls and know that big critters can see little critters as food and that aquarium shops' advice is often pretty ropey. As the white frog appears to be outgrowing the other two at a rather rapid rate I am concerned she may get up one morning to find a chubby white frog and no little greenish ones.
I have advised her to separate the two species and start doing some serious research as to exactly what species they are as at the moment she's referring to them as 'water frogs' as that is what they were labelled as in the shop. She is adamant that the aquarium shop knows best.
Have I given her the right advice? Are there any do's and don'ts I should be letting her know about?
Thanks guys.
