The Rambler's Fish

Laguna de los Pozuelos' Rusted Frog (Telmatobius rubigo), family Telmatobiidae, endemic to Argentina

Vulnerable.

Found at high elevations.

Separated from the Marbled Water Frog (Telmatobius marmoratus) to full species status in 2009.

I swap out my endler/guppy mutt males fairly often (main female & juvenile group is in a 10 gal, the males get a separated into a different tank to prevent them from harassing the females too much) and this month's pick is already putting in work.

funnily enough, I've never posted this set together, despite it being one of my main products this year :'D as I'm fixing it now I'd like to thank you all for the positive response to the t-shirts and other items with these!

Did some trimming for Confetti's tank! Every two months or so I start randomly hating this fish tank and then realize it's because the crypts have overgrown and started blocking off all the light, so I trim them back and suddenly love it again. C'est la vie.

The crypt parva are probably going to get overrun by the monte carlo, which of course started sending out runners as soon as I gave up on it ever re-carpeting, so one way or another my carpeting goals will be achieved. I'm also once again attempting to grow some S. repens because I had exactly one (1) wild success with it and I loved it so much that I will approach this stupid, melt-prone little plant like Sisyphus with his boulder. Time will tell.

Also at some point most of my java fern kicked the bucket, so I untangled the rhizome from crypt hell and moved it somewhere less shadowed in the hopes that it will bush out over on that upper left side by the heater.

Overall, happy with how things are going!

I want these shrimp so badly....
