Re: 55 gallon journal
A follow up here. Last night I got two 6 month old intermedius, which the breeder tried to sex based on size. The smaller one (presumed male) starting calling within 30 minutes of entrance into his new home. The male jumped all around the tank, calling, while the female stayed in the leaf litter for the first hour. They were on a reverse light cycle from mine, so it will probably take a few days for them to get over the jet lag. Both were foraging and eating before I turned out the lights. The smaller one seemed to go after the springtails and the larger one went after the mites. I'd been worried about all of the mites climbing up the glass and out of the tank (and onto my sofa) so it was reassuring to watch the frog clean the glass of all the mites.
All of the plants are growing nicely, with all of the broms no rooted and all of the orchids growing well. The temps are still running a little hot (high of 85) which I trying to control by increasing ventilation. Does anyone know how high intermedius can tolerate and for how long?
Thanks,
Mark
