Little piece of my frog spawn

One fish · 02/05/2015, 09:50 PM

Hello everyone. I have been keeping my frogspawn in a small, flowable, breeder bucket. I just noticed a piece isn't attached? It is small and looks like the tips? Can anyone see the photo and tell me what is going on??

Your frogspawn spawn?

Looks like your frogspawn is... spawning

Nice color by the way.

Really?? Do they really do that, I thought they would just grown new heads..

Coelli · 02/05/2015, 11:20 PM

Mine does that all the time. I have yet to see a baby attach anywhere

Awesome! My avatar is a lobo I caught in the act doing the same thing.

Thanks, I'm not really sure. Here is another picture if anyone knows. This is right before it opened up tonight.

Is the piece on some substrate? Wonder if it will attach to the base of that container.

MondoBongo · 02/06/2015, 07:35 AM

i've seen my different euphyllia drop pieces of tentacle from time to time. they've never attached to anything.

i've assumed they are just parts of it that have gotten twisted off in the flow.

That color is beautiful. I would kill for color like that. What lighting are you running if you don't mind me derailing your thread a little.

EasyEd77 · 02/06/2015, 11:57 AM

I have had the same frogspawn for years and have fragged it a bunch of times. From my experience if you touch it a little rough some of the live piece will fall off the skeleton as shown in your picture and float around the tank. Ive never had any adverse affects from this and have also never seen the small piece attach to anything and continue to grow. Maybe a little crazy glue and a piece of rubble could make something happen if your into trying an experiment?

You might want to try putting that fragment in a small glass bowl full of rubble or gravel. Put some netting over the top of it so it doesn't float away and then just give it some time to attach on it's own. It's definitely worth a shot. GL.

After you get it into the bowl, avoid disturbing it for the next six months: it'll be growing skeleton down at the juncture of the tentacles, on the bottom.

that coloration is awesome!

tkeracer619 · 02/06/2015, 05:21 PM

Yea send me a frag plz

One fish · 02/06/2015, 11:45 PM

Haha yeah... Free frags for everyone for all the great advise! Thank you I will get it in a bowl with rubble, save it and see. It is still in the little breeder bowl now though. I just did a google search on it and found a similar thread on another site i think..
