Another Question for Derek Benson...

KristenM Nov 06, 2003 09:24 PM

Hey Derek,

I have asked you a couple of questions about Phyllomedusa before. I just got 1.1 P. hypochondrialis, I have read all the sheets you have on your site about breeding these guys. I was just wondering if you have had any sucess breeding these guys? And this is premature but I'm curious what fish food you reccomend for tads.

Thanks a bunch
Kristen Martyn

I haven't had time for breeding thme as of yet, I'm trying to get my rain chamber around for my sauvagei now. I'm boing to be setting up some rubbermaid with some gravel on the bottom in hopes that algae will take over and thne maybe put some java moss and oxygen weed in there to help feed tads. I know some places sell food especially for tads, but most just use algae pellets and things on that order. I have 3.2 hpyos and I should get thme ready to breed. Keep me posted.
