I got an african dwarf frog saturday and it hasn't eaten anything.  It is in a tank with a crowtail betta, 2 ghost shrimp, and a gold mystery snail.  I feed flakes to the inhabitants in the morning and frozen bloodworms in the afternoon.  Before I go to bed I put in a fourth of an algea chip in the tank.  I haven't seen the frog eat at all and when I put food in he doesn't react.  Am I feeding something wrong or is he just not hungry yet?  Thank in advance for the advice.

They have terrible eyesight, and find food by smell and touch mostly, so the food needs to be right in front of them. They like meaty foods like bloodworms and are generally unlikely to accept flake. Here's some good info. http://aquaticfrogs.tripod.com/id13.html

I think that there was a topic about this a while back, but I cant remember where it was.  But somebody had a picture of 2 of the cups you put under furniture legs and some screws or something like that to hold them together.  I dont know if this makes any sense, but there was a picture of it.  Maybe someone knows what the topic's name was.
