Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Aquatic frogs?
I ended up with a 10 gallon tank and accessories, long story. Anyway, common sense would be to stick the aquarium in the garage or maybe sell it. But nooooo, no common sense here. I put it on the kitchen counter and set it up this morning and will let it cycle.
A while back I made a job related hospital visit, many of the Medical Center hospitals here are upscaling their decorations to look less hospitalish so they are less scary particularly for children. I saw a cool aquatic frog in a beautifully decorated tank at an attendant/nurses' station.
So I'm thinking about a frog. I want one that doesn't get huge, and also that can live in unaereated water for several weeks a year when the electricity goes out as hurricanes pass through. I do have one of those battery operated air pumps somewhere in the garage but I don't want to depend on it working the entire time the power is out.
So does anyone have those kinds of frogs, what advice do you have?

Lucille,you should Google " African clawed frog " I've never owned one but they are cool-looking and the care seems pretty minimal.

I went over to KS and there is plenty of info, but as more than an occasional lurking visit that is unsatisfactory. For one thing, I recognized in the forum there a name which I had seen in the BOI here and who does not have a good reputation, and I just do not want to hang out with such a person.
For another, I'd like to have more participation here in sharing info. The classifieds here are improving and of course everyone comes to visit the BOI, but many people don't seem to venture into the forums much.
You can't make people participate, I realize that, but we have lots of experienced folks come to the site, I would consider it a gift to the community if they would stop off for a few minutes once in a while and give advice to those who ask.

I really hope you got the dwarf ones. The regular ACF will outgrow a 10 gal quickly.
Sorry i did not reply sooner been MIA for a few days.
If you did get the dwarfs get a couple more. They do fine in groups and will not grow too big for a 10 gal at all.

Those look like dwarf ones to me. Most pet shops, at least in my experience, carry only albino ACFs. The gray ones, like in your pic, are the dwarf variety. I had some in college, they were very entertaining to watch. Looks like a nice set up you have, what are you using for filtration?

They are dwarfs. I have a small hang-on-back filter. They are now pretty acclimated and seem to be doing well.
