Musical Dwarf Frogs Driving Me Crazy 0_o

[sammy86]

Hello there
i dont know if anyone here has been in the same situation as me but i need to post cos im going mad! lol

i had a 12 gallon with fish and 4 ADF's in - i bought a new smaller tank and put the 4 ADFs in
ever since ive moved them they sing like crazy, not just quiet squeaks...full blown frog opera

the trouble is its at night...around 2am they do it, and they sometimes dont stop in between
so i have 'reeeeeeeeee...reeeeeeeee.....reeeeeeeeeeee' by my head all night

its driving me BANANAS i cannot have themi n a different room because im still with my mum and she
will not tolerate frogs in her living room lol.

i just need a few answers basically...

1. i read their doing it cos their mating. however i found eggs in my old tank and they didnt do this.
2. could it be cos ive moved them to a different spot?
3. do they ever STOP doing it? is there a mating season or am i stuck with these singing horrors for ever?

i really adore these little guys but im gonna have to rehome them if it goes on.

their all about the 1 year old mark

excuse my laughter but it is kind of amusing, those crazy adf's. I have 4 aswell and every once in awhile I hear a very soft sing, nothing like you are experiencing.
-I am afraid the males will croak all the time no matter what. I had my male by himself for at least 3 months and he never stopped singing, even though no females in sight.
-I dont think its because you moved them.
-Some sing and some dont just depends on the frog.
Maybe you could swap them at your lfs or find someone on here who will give them a good home.

lol it is funny when people ask why im so grumpy in the morning XD

I MAY (touch wood) have solved the problem by putting my two little guppies in there
theyve not sung since but rather give me indignant looks that i added fish to their 'frogparadise' XD

That is actually a good idea I didnt think about. Putting some fish in there might make them less likely to sing and mate. Really was quite a good idea. Hopefully, the silence continues.
