So I have a 3-4mo old tank raised R. standard Imitator I have some issues with and am in the process of increasing its health and require some feedback. Purchased the froglet from another member and intended to add it to the pair I purchased from Gary which is looking like 1.0.1 at the moment. Frog is currently housed in a 2.5gal alone with leca base and ABG mix seeded with springs, corner section of moss, 1 plant cutting which is rooting, 1 film canister and the rest of the floor covered with leaf litter.
Main problems to note is the frog is extremely shy and is not really eating small M. FFs. However it will eat any springs that come near it or are active when it is on the tanks floor. I have a feeding station with at least one small piece of fruit to attract FFs to the center of the small tank. When flies do walk past or are noticed the froglet will go after them but very often spits them out and I have rarely noticed actually taking one. As far as the shyness goes it always seems to hang out in this one spot in the corner of the tank.
The flies are dusted with either Calcium or D3 but by the time they are eaten there is probably only trace amounts. It could be assumed that the entire diet while in my care has been springs.
I should note that based on my other two Imis that this frog exhibits weird behavior but when it is active its spot on with the older pair. Just ordered some Repashy Vit A plus and Supervite to switch my current supplementation. Have added as many springs as I can and misted the tank heavily twice daily.
Here is the little runt.
Thanks in advance!
