90 gallon pyxie tank

[BIG HYDRO]

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?

[waltah!]

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

They swallow it.


I didn't realize that site could not be viewed by guests, my bad.


Here's another link that you can see the pics in. Thanks for the heads up.

They swallow it live?

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.













Borchmore in the deep end.





HULK watching from the shallow.










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?

[BIG HYDRO]

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?

[BIG HYDRO]

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.
