irishtexan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I just got a really cool frogspawn at MACNA. I opened up all the way and looked really good the last couple of days. But now it is all swirrvled(sp?) up! What is wrong with it? texx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Could be numerous things. Mine will open and close all day long. Puffy one minute, deflated the next. They really don't like a lot of flow so keep that in mind when placing them. I found mine did not appreciate my metal halides as much as I did. Used to open up way larger in PC lighting. Did you bury it in the sand? I've been told and have had great success at keeping them alive by placing them in the bottom of the tank buried up to about where the flesh starts on the skeleton. I had a hammer go on me after buying it. I had fragged some heads of the colony to give away. All but one head died out. I left the pieces where they were and about a month later I suddenly had about 12 heads growing on each frag. Now I have giant round balls of hammer. So if a head goes don't toss it. What flavor did you get? I've gotten them in green with pink tips, green with white tips, green with purple tips, green with blue tips, and one that was a pink color with white tips.

irishtexan Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks! I have about half of the skeleton buried in the sand. I think the flow it the prob. Its in really high flow so I will move it and see how it does. It has neon green and pink tips. Its a really nice frog so I hope it doesn't die! texx ps-YGPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark8nge1 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yeah definately try moving it to lower flow. Mine currently are in low to medium flow areas of my tank. I had a torch that was hating life in my tank until I jammed it in the darkest lowest flow corner of my tank and it has since opened up and split.
