KarenM Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I saw a big blob of something in floating around in the tank, went to investigagte and found it's a marble-sized piece of frogspawn. My frogspawn is usually about 6-7" around,k but it's been staying about 5" for the last few days. Now I find this piece floating. Did it frag itself, or what?

My frogspawn is usually about 6-7" around,k but it's been staying about 5" for the last few days. Now I find this piece floating. Did it frag itself, or what? Some LPS's do this . - Ours does. (This is different from ejection where the entire head comes out, right?) I've seen candy canes reproduce this way, as well as frogspawn and torches. - I think it may be a stress induced type of reaction.. If you can get it to become stable somewhere (instead of floating all around the tank) then that is what I would do until it calicifies a new base. Anywhere you can trap it and still get light and some (reduced) flow will work. (this can be hard to do). There's been times I wised I had a tiny plastic cage for those things. - We have very high flow in our tank - and they always get lost back in some dark corner (where they die without light). Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenM Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yep, I don't see it now. How is the scissortail doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yep, I don't see it now. How is the scissortail doing? Scissortail is doing great, its been eating real well for the past 3 days, so appetite was not an issue. I believe something or someone scared him to go an hide, and now its swimming about and eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
