RETF question

Red-Eye-Ray Sep 19, 2003 02:10 PM

Kind of a silly question, but I figured since I had never read or heard anything about this in the past, someone here may know..

I know this isn't a bad thing, but it's incredibly cute. I have an 85 tall custom tank that I currently house five Red Eye's in. They all seem to be happy and healthy, but are too young for breeding (estimating about 5-6 months old tops right now). There are two frogs though that are inseperable. I noticed that at night they hunt together, and are always right by eachother. The cutest thing though, is that every day for the last four weeks, they've slept, side by side on the same leaf (which leaf it is varies, but they're always right there). I have some pictures taken of them, but I have yet to upload them. I was just curious if this is a regular practice, or something new?

Thanks for taking the time to read this long, drawn out post Happy Frogging!

I have a pair that regularly sleeps on the same leaf,only on opposite sides! They basically sleep stomach to stomach, with a leaf in between them. I always get a kick out it.

Not so sure it is a "common" occurence, but it is great to witness.

Good luck with the RETF's.

I don't know if it's common or not, but I don't think it is.

It's very cute, btw, and I'd love to see pics! I keep two and they hardly realize that the other is around.

Here's how I usually find my two. I raisd them both from tadpoles. I "THINK" the one on top (Zero Cool) is female and the one on bottom (Dozer) is male. Dozer is pretty protective of Zero, when I go in to change their water he usually always goes over by Zero and turns all brown and watches me closely LOL
