Thawed frozen tubifex worms got them up and about: http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/6-11-10kuhli1.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/6-11-10kuhli2.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/6-11-10kuhli3.jpg http://i799.photob...

For once, a critter held a cute pose while I dug out my camera, turned it on, focused, and got the picture

Here are my two froggies here at work, hanging out in their mug while I clean their tank. Believe it or not, the smaller darker one is the original. They're terrific little companions. Interesting observation: I feed the frogs Mon-Wed-Fri, thawed-out frozen bloodworms, brineshrimp and glassworms, us...

Frogs are BIPEDS!

The only thing cuter than a kuhli is a BABY kuhli! THANKS for sharing!

AWWWWW!!

I would LOVE for my kuhlis to produce babies, and have done all I can think of to encourage them. The only other fish in my tank are 3 angels, so normal people don't think my tank is empty.

Overall, I've found ADFs highly entertaining, easy to care for, and inexpensive ($3.49 at Wal-Mart.) They come up to breathe every minute or so, occasionally dashing up and back down comically. They swim around and then go into a zen-like trance. On the whole, I'd say they're active about 75% of the...

They're so utterly adorable ... http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-3-10frogbowl.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-3-10frogAandB.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-3-10frogBandAleg.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/a...

It's just a hunk of plexiglass perched on four caps from bottled water. You can get plexi (or acrylic) at any home-improvement store, and cut it with an X-Acto, then sand the sharp edges smooth. Doesn't have to be perfectly square, and scratches are OK. Mine is leftover from another project. Just ma...

CONGRATULATIONS! :D Most kuhlis bred by hobbyists were accidental, and discovered underneath the UG filter plates. That's why I designed a little shelf to try to mimic the feel of it. No luck so far, that I know of, but there's also lots of leaves littered around that they LOVE too, so I'm still hop...

I foresee the phrase, "Like a loach in a maze" crowding out the more mundane rat

It's the barbels that give them their delightfully adorable appearance. That and the stripes. And their eel-like bodies ... and their dark eyes ...

TWO African Dwarf Frogs! http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-01-10-2frogstank.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-01-10-2frogs.jpg Quarantine is finally over, and I brought in a friend for my lone, lonely ADF here at work. Both are acting normall...

Today's pictures of my adorable kuhlis (is there another sort?) http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-01-10-kuhli5.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-01-10-kuhli4.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/3-01-10-kuhli3.jpg ht...
