i am starting to worry because i hear that they are greedy eaters but mine seems to not eating

Answer 1

Sounds like he doesn't care for the shrimp much. Try shrimp pellets or Nutrifin Max sinking tablets. They can actually be picky eaters, you just have to experiment and figure out what he likes. When he finds somethind he likes he will be a pig.

Answer 2

African dwarf frogs seem to be visual hunters, but it's likely that they can also detect food by scent. Their nearly binocular eyesight will detect movement once they are close to the food. They feed by striking suddenly at their prey. They don't chew their food, but gulp it down whole. These frogs will eat huge amounts of food for their size. Care must be taken not to over feed as they will search for any and all food in their tank and eat until every morsel is gone. It's best to feed them every other day. Adjust the amount of food so that their bellies are just beginning to bulge when the food is gone.



Try a different kind of food - they can be very picky eaters. Try bloodworms, they are sold frozen or freeze dried in the petstore.

Answer 3

Try sinking fish pellets, clawed frogs aren't really shrimp eaters by nature.
