Fish - Questions & Answers

I will take large tanks off your hands

Until you reach the end of it.

Yes! The freeze drying process kills of bacteria and parasites which may harm your fish. They do not have quite as many nutrients as the live counterparts due to the freeze drying process, but there is also no chance of any parasites being present. Freeze dried blood worms and brine shrimp are good options.

Make sure to rehydrate the foods before feeding them to your fish. Freeze dried foods will expand in the stomach of your fish, potentially causing health issues. You need to expand the food first by soaking it in some aquarium water.

I can suggest some humane ways you can do to remove or prevent them from getting into your pool, such as:

1. Fence off the pool: If it's possible, fence off the pool to prevent the frogs and other wildlife from accessing it.
2. Install a pool cover: Installing a pool cover will deter the frogs from entering the pool. Additionally, it will also help in keeping your pool clean.
3. Turn off pool lights at night: Frogs are attracted to light, turning off the pool lights will prevent them from coming to your pool at night.
4. Use a pool skimmer: Use a pool skimmer to scoop out the frogs from the pool. Once you have caught them, relocate them to a nearby canal, pond or river.
5. Use a frog repellent: There are many natural frog repellents available in the market. These repellents usually work by producing a smell that deters the frogs from coming near the pool.

Remember, frogs are beneficial creatures that help to control insect populations and are critical to our ecosystem. Please avoid using chemicals, pesticides or killing them, as they are an essential part of our environment.
