hi there, bassicly ive got a 10g tank all setup with 5 zebra danios and two african dwarf frogs, .. these zebra danios for the last 4 days have bassicly been stopping the frogs from eating i feel anyway, the frogs hide away under the bogwood and rocks most of the time, where at night when the lights off i expect they come out a bit more but anyway when i try and feed them live bloodworm the damn zebra danios come and eat it to quick for the frogs.. its feeding time now and i wonder if anyone has the same problem and what they do? thanks
 
that would be good but i hardly see the frogs as they hide under the logs and come out mainly in the night when its dark... (nopturnal) thnx
 
Mine also hide most of the day but when they smell food they come out no matter what time of day it is when I feed. Once they are done eating they go back to hiding until later. Usually just squirting it near their hiding spot so they can smell it will bring them out right away. If you can distract the Danios long enough with flake they should be able to get a good meal before the Danios figure out there is bloodworms too.
 
i only have one ADF at the moment, and he's in his own tank... but if i didn't use a turkey baster and literally dangle the worms in front of his nose, he wouldn't eat at all. i've heard they have bad eyesight, and mine doesn't seem to have any sense of smell. the worm can be sitting on his arm or leg and he'll just swim away. i have to pick it up with the baster and play with it.

pain the arse, but at least he gets fed :p
 
Push the bloodworm down with your hands or like flips said use a Turkey Baster. They're super cheap and last without getting all scummy for years. Possibly the greatest invention of alllllll time.
