ADFs are definately cool. I have two in my tank and they do the all kinds of crazy things.

Yes, they are fascinating. Check out the frog link in my sig if you're interested.

What and how do you guys feed yours?

One of my ADFS have died, and the other I'm having a hard time ensuring that he is eating..... I'm trying to use a turkey baster to deposit in those brine shrimp cubes (which just fall apart and make a huge mess)... but I don't know... help! Its a 20 gallon long, and the filter just spins the food around everywhere

Hey sarah, this is what my girlfriend does. She has a long tank as well. She keeps 4 ADF's and to make sure they are eating she puts in a divider and keeps them on one side during feeding (away from the filter) after all food is gone she removes the divider so they can enjoy their daily swim around the tank. Hope that helps..

Thank you for your reply

Unfortunately, my other ADF also died yesturday. As well as both my snails.....

What had your gf been feeding her frogs?

Sarah

PS. The snails are alive! I put them in a glass bowl (so as not to pollute the tank), and they are moving a bit!! And here I thought they were dead

So now I have....

20 gallon long - pl*co, 6 feeders, and an oranda
10 gallon planted, with nothing in it
glass bowl with 2 apple snails.
