Gotta New Frogspawn :)
Hey everyone, So I got a frogspawn yet again (my last one died away from brown jelly unfortunately) And it looks amazing!!
Just wondering though will its tentacles extend a little more? And is very little flow okay for it? Also I noticed about 6 of these baby heads all the way at the bottom of the skeleton. Is there any way to make them grow faster? I was thinking maybe breaking them off when they got bigger and giving them more light is that good? |

Keep your vitamins up in the tank- you can frag off those small peices w/o worry once they are big enough to remove and not damage tissue. If you damage tissue there is a small risk of infection. Sometimes mine accepts target feeding- other times not. I usually feed a mix of spirulina and fresh fish roe FWIW.

My branching hammer gets those tiny lower heads. They seem to be there as "backup" of sorts. If the large upper heads die, or in my case get cut off, then maybe the tiny heads will grow up. But usually, they don't. JME.

IME the baby heads just stay babys. The real heads will do the sp;itting.

Damn my hammer has started growing some baby heads and I really thought that it would turn into another head.

Haha same. But once you frag the baby off when its big enough won't it be able to grow on its own?
Also about the feeding, are they more likely to take food at night? Or can I add phyto or something so they can smell it and take in food? |
