I am a Grandma, & I breed tropical fish, hence my username.
I came upon this site while looking for info on culturing daphnia & other live foods for my fish. I have not kept amphibians, mostly because I didn't have a clue as to their needs, though I have been tempted to venture out into the deep, so to speak. This looks like a good place to learn about their needs, and I would like to try it out. What are easy ones to start with that aren't too expensive (senior, on a fixed income:tongue? Where are such available in Winnipeg?
My favourite fish are live bearers and Kribenses (Pelvicachromis pulcher). The Kribensis is a dwarf cichlid originating in the Niger River in Africa. It is more peaceful than most other cichlids, except when courting, spawning, and rearing their fry. Even then they aren't too bad if there is enough room for the other fish to hide. Parental behaviour is fascinating to watch - great pain & stress reliever.:supercool:
I have from time to time kept Cherry shrimp in the same tank with Guppies & Platies, along with lots of plants for the shrimps to hide in. Probably it is time to progress on to keeping some amphibians, starting with ones suitable to beginners. Suggestions & advice are welcome. :happy:
