Please pass this on to frog lovers. This company sells
frogs in cubes which are 4" square.
AquaBabies are 4 inch acrylic torture chambers complete
with fish....frog and/or snail(s)...., aquatic plant, "live" rocks, and "natural"
water. There is no filtration or aeration included nor are these things suggested
or recommended.
Some of the producers care instructions include....
"Water changes are seldom necessary. (3-4 times a year)
Use only bottled water. The tank only needs to be cleaned when the water
becomes cloudy and/or there is debris covering the rocks, plants or tank.
Use only bottled spring water at room temperature for your aquarium. Feed
the fish only a small pinch of food once daily or every other day through
the hole in the top using the tip of a toothpick. Your fish need very little
food to sustain them. They can be fed daily or every other day and can easily
be left for a weekend without food."
**** The producer makes no mention of the fact that in
any aquarium regular partial water changes and good filtration are needed
to keep water in good condition and fish healthy. Without adequate filtration,
sufficient aeration, and regular maintenance water conditions will quickly
deteriorate causing fish to become ill, suffer, and die. The producer, who
claims to have several degrees in Aquatic Biology, also fails to explain
how a healthy Biofilter is maintained without aeration. Anyone with the slightest
knowledge of this process knows that the bacteria which make up the Biofilter
will not survive if oxygen is not circulated through the media on which it
grows (in this case the "rocks"). With no biofilter water can not be suitable
for fish to live in. In addition, feeding as is recommended in these instructions
will not provide the nutrition that is needed for fish to grow properly and
remain healthy
