Last weekend I got myself an aquarium and some new friends. Picking who and what would come home with me was very stressful. I wanted fish, but I also wanted frogs and I also wanted a sea crustacean, but there was no way they could all live together. I finally decided on 3 frogs and 5 mini- shrimp. The frogs are African Clawed frogs, two white, one black. The black one I named Hot Rod, but I couldn't decide on names for the white ones for a few days.
Unfortunately, the next day one of the shrimp was dead. As sad as I was, I took him out of the tank with chopsticks. I thought the worst was over, but then...
When I got home one night, after being away for only a few hours, one white frog and one shrimp were gone. Not dead, gone. They were nowhere in the tank. I checked the filter, I checked around the tank (despite having a lid, who knows what these guys can do?) NO LUCK! They disappeared. Either they got buried under the dirt and have yet (a week later) to float up, or they were eaten by the other frog.Still no signs of them but thankfully none others have gone missing.
The other day I decided on the name for the other white frog, Jean Clawed Van Frog-get it? He's a clawed frog.
