I’ve been crocheting on and off for 2.5 years now. I tend to go through periods of crocheting all day every day and then switch to a total lack of interest for months. I started when my husband and I were super poor and looking for hobbies to do together. We got two balls of yarn, a cheap set of knitting needles and two crochet hooks. We tried knitting first and didn’t like it. We switched to crochet and it clicked for me. Now I love making amigurumi as I can’t stand making bigger items where I have to count stitches. I’m starting to freehand things and am hoping to maybe learn to make patterns myself.

Yeah they’re actually discontinued because they sold terribly. This guy was one of three left at a major chain store near me that sat for months in his cup. He’s got some bad finrot and got the point where he was limp on the bottom of the cup so the manager gave him to me for free. He is bright highlighter pink with cellophane fins.

The frogs were cool to start, but I made the mistake of putting them in with my male Betta that I’d raised from a fry. They were good for months until they weren’t. Lost my favorite frog Queso and my boy Dragonfly to the resulting wounds. It’s my fault, but my heart still hurts a little looking at them. So I wouldn’t recommend them in a community tank as I’ve seen them go for the endlers and kuhlis too. Do species only.

If you do go for them I’d give these tips:

1. Make sure you can differentiate between African dwarf frogs and African clawed frogs because my usually great lfs can’t.
2. Be prepared to feed frozen or live. The zoomed pellets suck to feed.
3. Get a feeding tray, like a potted plant tray or glass cat dish. Or target feed with tongs.

I’ve got a 20 long with endlers, a glofish betta rescue, kuhlis, and tons of mts and ramshorn. The ramshorn are wanted but the mts are not. I also have a 10 gallon with a nerite that has found the secret to immortality and two dwarf frogs. Both planted with mostly vallisneria because that stuff multiplies like crazy.
