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.

Pipa Pipa Frogs
I have 6 Pipa Pipa frogs all over 6 inches! Anybody know what is the best aquarium setup for them is to be happy?
What is there favorite food?
Do they like stagnant water?
Now i have them all in an 60 gallon amazon river setup so its 78 degrees with black water extract added and discus buffers! I have 3 ac70 filters packed with ehiem substrate and do a 25% water change with PRIME condietioner in it. I also have purigen going in the ac70,s! I also have a rock for them to come out of the water and rest but nobody has used it yet!
Do i have too much filteration i am thinking the water is moving too fast for them also they are not showing much of an appetite and egnore silversides frozen ones, they did eat some earthworms. Also are earthworms from bait shops good for them.

They need clean water and are pretty messy eaters so it is important to have good filtration. NightCrawlers and silversides are fine.. they also eat goldfish if they are big enough...
I would also be carefull with having so many ... if one is smaller then the others it will get eaten.
Your temperature is fine, keep it within 70-80 degrees F.
They are fully aquatic so the rock isn't really needed...
They can escape... put a secure lid on the tank.

Thanks Sarah the frogs range in size from 4 inches to one thats close to 7 inches! I have been floating lots of plastic vines all over the tank for them to hide and rest on! They all hang together and the biggest one does not look like he can swallow the smallest one! I have the rock in there balanced so they can come out and sit on it, i have heard mixed info on that, i will see if they ever use it, so far they dont!

2 of my Pipa Pipa frogs are always clicking at each other & are hanging together ontop of each other!
They are in a 55 gallon tank now. To breed them do i actually have these frogs living in a garbage can for breeding? Do i just run a internal filter on it? I saw a big pale at home depot whick looked kinda cool i might try this for some fun!

Anybody know what to do now? The frogs keep fighting but still no eggs! Could they kill each other???? Seems like they are very aggressive. smaller male charges her extremely fast and smashes her, looks like she likes it though. I am scared the male will drown her with all his stuff? Thanks in advance for any advice!
