African Dwarf Frogs - Tank Compatibility and Cycling to Avoid New Tank Syndrome?
I'm so confused... I bought a death trap from Brookstone (Frog-O-Sphere Ecosystem with 2 African Dwarf Frogs) and did research about them after buying it instead of before. I found out that the tank is way to small for them and bought a 5 gallon tank for them, I set it up last night and don't know when to add the frogs to the tank because I wasn't planning on putting any fish in it for the cycling process. If I do need fish what fish get along with African Dwarf Frogs and how many can I have in the tank since it's only 5 gallons? I used a bacteria additive because I didn't have any existing gravel and I also used a water conditioner to remove the chlorine from the water. How do I get the frogs acclimated to the new tank? Do I put the frogs with water from the previous tank in a ziploc bag and just let them float in the water for 15 minutes or so until they get temperature acclimated then dump the water out and then the frogs into the new tank or do I have to add water from the new tank into the bag so they get adjusted to the new water conditions? I'm so confussed...
