Hi I want to start a cold fresh water tank just for some plants, no fish, maybe AFDs down the line. Any suggestions for plants? Do I need a filter? How would water changes affect the plants? Do I need "soil" stuff or will just plain gravel do? Will I have to cycle a tank before adding plants? How then, should I set this up correctly, will ADFs affect the tank? I have heard they are not generally destructive... I am sorry for all the questions I am just at a loss. Thank you

I’m sorry, friend, I cannot help with any of this. I don’t do aquariums or fish or anything. I’ll post this & tag it though, so maybe someone more experienced can comment. About all I can say is that I’m fairly certain you’d need soil or sand, and a filter, especially if you want to add any animals in.

The bitsiest boy (?) in the nursery. It was very hard to show you that he has a tummy now, but he does. Before, he was skeletal. He's exhibiting relaxed behavior, like floating at the top of the water all stretched out. It's only been a few days, so this is great.

The cutest thing about me opening the lid is that, instead of hiding, he will turn to face me. It was actually a bit difficult to take a picture of him because he kept turning haha

Soon I shall dance for him and sing about how he is a pancake

I think I know who's singing in my tank! I think Skinny Minnie is actually Bill. I think I can see a breeding patch under his arm, too. This would be the season.

Current Bill is now Ex-Minnie and vice versa.

So now my current issue is this:

I have been wanting tadpoles. If I get them, the father will be Bill, the absolute dumbest amphibian on the face of planet Earth.

Do I want the world's dumbest frogs,,,

Look at this little idiot.

Her name is Skinny Minnie. She is one of four African dwarf frogs (BB Betty, Whoah Mabel, and Bill). For months, she refused to come out and accept food from me because I am a sky giant and cannot be trusted. She finally got hungry enough to trust me, so if I saw her, I'd stop everything to feed her. She has since become a shameless beggar.

Pictured: shamelessness. None of the other frogs will straight-up leave the water for me. No, they know what's important, and it's not me. It is SHRAMP

So ideally, most aquatic creatures should have bellies that are the same widths as their jaws. In ADFs, females tend to be pear-shaped, so a little belly is expected. In males, they tend to be straight up and down.

Now it's possible Skinny Minnie is actually Bill. I have one other frog who may be my mysterious singer. Regardless, you can tell Skinny Minnie is not great from this bad photo. You can see the ridge of her spine when she twists and her legs are too thin. (Current Bill waits below patiently.)

So obviously I make sure she gets first dibs.

But you know what this complete idiot does. You know what she does?

She refuses to eat the food I give her and just follows me around. She's the equivalent of no-throw-only-hold. She wants me to put food in her mouth, which she then spits up. Then she turns to follow me. No! Wrong! Eat the shrimp! How do you suck at eating?

My solution has been to spend less time hand-feeding. Just dump the shrimp as fast as possible and run. Hunt for it, you tiny blind dumbass.

She is definitely gaining weight, so she's getting better and better at this, but I can't get over how dumb this approach is. Who turns down a meal to chase the person who's feeding them? This is some bizarro world positive-reinforcement bullshit.

I love her.

And my green hair algae. Shut up I hear your thoughts
