Hi,
Last night I purchased a fully grown female ACF ( I beleive laiden with eggs) and trasfered it to my 29 gallon tankwith my male who has been calling for days. The locked in aplexus and where dancing the last I saw.

2 hours later, she was gone. Litterally diassapeared. I am now doubting the sanity of myself and If I didn't have the receipt, would think I never bought her. The thing is, she was HUGE. I don't know how that big of a frog could get out and them move so fast. I have put down bowls of water everywhere to no avail. I am so mad, I just really don't know why. I guess becuase it was such a waste of my time to go get her and the fact I know I'll never find another in that good of condition.

PLEASE any help woould be awesome right now. Like Tips/tricks, where you found yours when it escaped, did it live? *sigh* I think I'm going to cry.

keep looking as soon as you've noticed she is gone. they can dry out and die quickly. i have lost 3 frogs to escapes. two died, one i found just in time. they are escape artists!!!! every nook and cranny in a tank should be covered and the water level dropped 3 inches to be safe. check out this website for more info.
