90 gallon pyxie tank

I wanted to share another video of the girls chowing down on some rodent. They both recently just moved into their new 90 gallon tank, and they are loving it.

YouTube - African bullfrogs


This is a link to the new set up. They love having all the room to explore. Hulk spends most of her time in the shallow water and Borchmore likes to just float at the top.

I didn't want to posting everything again, so here's the link.

Coolio. So, uh, how do they kill their prey?

You need to login to see the link that you posted. Just a heads up.

Yes.


Sorry for the bad links, here it is.

Well, I got some more done and finally got a pair into the tank a few days ago. They have been doing great together, no problems what-so-ever.

I still have to finish the background, ut other than that and some plants, it's pretty much finished for now. A water/rain feature will be adde later. I was given a new filter by a friend of mine and it is VERY nice. Never seen one this quiet. I literally can not hear it no matter how close I get to it. (Duetto-Marineland)

Anyhow, I added river rocks to the bottom of the tank, some cut bricks for supporting a marble corner shelf for them to get in and out of the water on. It seems to be their favorite hangout spot thus far. Borchmore really loves the water. HULK not so much th deeper parts yet, but Borch spends alot of her time just out there floating around or sitting under the corner shelf. I also used a large flat rock on the landside just out of the water to try and help reduce some of the coco that will be dragged into the water when they go in.



Here's a few pics of them enjoying their new digs.

I guess HULK's pretty comfortable.

If you watch the video, it appears the mouse is killed/suffocated by the frog before she consumes it?

Yes, that is how it is usually done. Sometimes they don't get it by the head though and swalllow it from the side or the rear, but their jaws are pretty powerful. Smaller pinkys or fuzzies are swallowed whole in one gulp.

So will one frog not eat the other frog? I have 2 albino pacman frogs could you put them together in a big aquarium like that?

I wouldn't suggest multiples with pacmans, nor pyxies as froglets. If there is the slightest difference in size, the smaller will be food in the end, or worse, both dead from one suffocating while trying to eat the other.

So when my pacmans are full grown I can?

Pretty sweet but that music is horrid. lol

that pic of borchmore in the deep end is really cute/funny. I want frogs

Are you kidding me! Of course we are all entitled to our opinion...:)

I was just about to comment on the music. I think the music makes it even funnier.
I saw the frog in a different new light...

Felt as if the frog was An old fat black man from New Orleans, Big white beard, the straw hat, with blue overalls, and ready to heat up some gumbo, and play some blues on his harmonica. A happy ol man!.

Every time I see a video (usually snakes) its always some cliche rock n roll or gothic song, always something hardcore and head banging. (I am of fan of all music) ...This was a change and it wasn't cliche at all. I enjoyed it all, and i don't even know who sings that song...Not to say that I would enjoy the music if it stood alone either.


But thanks for the good video!

is that chalie boy?

I love it!!!

Pyxies are currently the only amphib on my "want" list, and if I ever get one(or more) I'm totally stealing your cage design, it's THAT fantastic! :D
