How to move my african dwarf frogs in their new tank?
Written by scottology on February 13, 2010 – 4:47 pm -
I got an eco-aquarium for christmas but the bamboo died and I think the ‘tank’ isn’t suiteable anyway. I have a five gallon tank but how long do i let the filter run in it until i put the frogs in it? And how do i put the frogs in so the temperature of the 2 tanks dont hurt the frogs?
Im going to fill the tank with spring water, if that matters.

I just want to say how happy I am to hear that your frogs are being moved to a real tank. Rarely do you see this sort of intelligence on Yahoo answers.
Agreed with the above poster, you need to add water conditioner (from the fish section) to remove chlorine and other substances from your tap water before you add the frogs. As far as temperature goes, treat them like you would a fish: put them in a, say, quart-sized ziploc bag with some of their original water and float them in the new tank. Every five minutes, add a little bit of water from the new tank so they’ll gradually adjust to the new water conditions. Do this for twenty minutes to a half hour and then move JUST the frogs to the new tank.
Good luck!

Make sure that you add water conditioner to your water and let your filter run for at least 2 days.
