    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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!
 
Earthworms

Well i just got my 250 canadian nightcrawlers today from amazon stingray! Frogs were all hand fed the worms and now have huge bellys and all look very happy! Anybody know if i should chop the worms up before feeding them? Anybody know the best way to take care and feed the canadian nightcrawlers?
 
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!
 
well my male is very aggressive to my biggest female for 1 weeks now! I am waiting for some eggs, then i have another tank setup for my female. Thanks for any advice and i will be hoping for lots of baby pipas!
 
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!
