Day 138

It's extremely relaxing to just sit and watch the frogs. When they want to breathe, they like to slowly poke their heads out and peek around like a game of amphibian Whac-A-Mole. Next, they'll bolt up to the surface, take a breath of air, and then dive back down. A few of the frogs will even try to float at the surface if they feel comfortable. I notice that the frogs are more willing to float if the screen mesh night covers I made a few months ago are left on the top of the tank. The dark likely makes them feel a bit more secure, African Clawed Frogs love to squeeze into small spaces to hide to the point that many new owners are constantly worried about their frogs becoming stuck despite their extreme flexibility and nimbleness.

I'm still in the process of raising the general hardness of the water in the 10 gallon tadpole tank to match the general hardness of the 20 gallon aquarium so I can start transferring the newly developed froglets again. It's important to do so slowly in order to not stress out the tadpoles and froglets too much. There are currently 2 froglets that are almost ready to be moved over to the 20 gallon tank, assuming the general hardness of the 10 gallon tank and 20 gallon tank are brought into alignment in time, it will be likely that both of them will be moved in about three days. In addition to the 2 near froglets, the population of the 10 gallon tadpole tank is currently composed of 3 tadpoles with developed back legs and 5 tadpoles without any limbs at the moment, giving us a total of 10 individuals.

Current Totals:

10 - 10 gallon (Tadpole Tank)
32 - 20 gallon (Frog Tank) [7 froglet, 25 juvenile]
